Lyrics

Holed up in your little room, we talk for hour on empty hour
Pacing up and down between the walls that we have built ourselves
No more with the long goodbye, I can't stand another tear;
I won't wait for the bell to toll - straight on for the days ahead
Straight on for the days ahead . .
You act as drowning, letting go the fingers one by one
Come on, there's life beyond the tomb that we have built ourselves;
No more with the long goodbye . .
We don't even dare to look each other in the eyes
Or say whatever's on our minds . .
These crushing moments show the kind of people we've become
Seal betrayal with a kiss - and let it all be over, finished, done . .
It feels so good to kill the thing that stood between the truth and i
Make it fast and make it clean and let the blood run down
No more with the long goodbye . .
