Distant Star lyrics

Well, a goodbye never seems finished

Just like these songs that I write

They hang aloft like stars in the night

But there's nothing there but the illusion of a light

And you, you could've been mine

Your mother, she's an actress

And we're all putting on a play

Here's some conviction, pretend that's all real

Try to ignore how sad it all feels

Yes, try not to break her heart if you can

Hold on

To whatever you can until it's gone

Carry on

For none of us will be here for too long

I'll try not to let the world and its darkness bring me down

Think of the love and the beauty I found

The simple things that I've left behind

Oh the way he make me laugh

But I hold on

To whatever I can until it's gone

I'll carry on

For none of us will be here for too long

We are a distant star

But darling, you're so far away

You were never meant to stay

I reach out to see

If you're still here with me

Baby, we could've made it easy

Couldn't we?

Now I will never know you

You are just someone passing by

And it makes me sad to think about

All the stories and fates I'll be without

But I think I'm getting used to the silence now
