Helena (Live for BBC Radio 1's "The Lock Up", 2005)

[Verse 1] Long ago, just like the hearse, you die to get in again And 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 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 [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 And if you carry on this way Hope 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 And if you carry on this way Hope things are better if I stay So long, and goodnight So long, and goodnight
