[Verse 1]
Long ago, just like the Hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on, just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know

[Pre-Chorus]
And what's the worst to take (Worst to 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 love your good night

[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
