Distant Star

Well, a goodbye never seems finished

Just like these songs that I write

They hang all off like stars in the night

There's nothing left but the illusion of light

And you, you could have been mine

Your mother, she's an actress

And we're all putting on a play

There's some conviction, pretend it'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'd make me laugh

But I'll hold on to whatever I can

Until it's gone

I'll carry on

For none of us will be here for too long gone

You're a distant star

My darling, you're so far away

You were never meant to stay

I reached out to see

If you're still here with me

Maybe we could have made it easy

Could we?

Now I will never know you

You were just someone passing by

And it makes me sad to think about

All the stories and things I'll be without

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