[Verse 1]
Remember this
Given us
By someone's set of parents
I don't recall, I admit
I don't know just who's to blame
For relics of our history

[Verse 2]
Tell the truth
It wasn't bad
We had to have a reason
And lack of love wasn't it
We both know we had a past
But present must contain
A future where both of us can fit

[Chorus]
So long and sorry, darling
I was counting to forever
And never even got to ten
So long and sorry, darling
When we found a rip in heaven
We should have just ascended then

[Verse 3]
It's funny how
You just assume
You're going to work it out
Or give it at least a try
But optimistic feelings can't be
Passed from hand to hand
You handle them, they tend to die
[Chorus]
So long and sorry, darling
I was counting to forever
And never even got to ten
So long and sorry, darling
When we found a rip in heaven
We should have just ascended then

[Bridge]
Well, better than if I just go away
Preserving the fiction of
Indifference now
Replacing love

[Chorus]
So long and sorry, darling
I was counting to forever
And never even got to ten
So long and sorry, darling
When we found a rip in heaven
We should have just ascended then
We should have just ascended then
We should have just ascended then
