Distant Star

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 Chorus Hold on To whatever you can until it's gone Carry on For none of us will be here for too long Verse 2 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 Chorus 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 Bridge 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 Outro 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
