Distant Star

Well, a goodbye never seems finished
 Just like these songs that I write
 They hang a love 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 you 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
