First Aid Kit - Distant Star lyrics

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 pa**ing 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
