Distant Star - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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 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've 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

You're 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

Babe, we could've made it easy

Couldn't 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 fates I'll be without

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