Helena [So Long & Goodnight] lyrics

[Verse 1]

Long ago, just like the hearse you die to get in again

We are so far from you

Burning on, just like the match you strike to incinerate

The lives of everyone you know

[Pre-Chorus]

And what's the worst you take (Worst you take)

From every heart you break? (Heart you break)

And like the blade, you stain (Blade you stain)

Well, I've been holding on tonight

[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long not goodnight

[Verse 2]

Came a time when every star fall brought you to tears again

We are the very hurt you sold

[Pre-Chorus]

And what's the worst you take (Worst you take)

From every heart you break? (Heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (Blade you stain)

Well, I've been holding on tonight

[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

Well, if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

[Bridge]

(Can you hear me?)

(Are you near me?)

(Can we pretend to leave, and then)

(We'll meet again)

When both our cars collide

[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

Well, if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight
