Helena
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are
The very hurt you sold
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
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
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide?
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
