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 mineYour 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 longI'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 laughBut 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
GoneYou'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
