Distant Star Lyrics - First Aid Kit

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
