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 that's all real Try to ignore how sad it all feels Yes, try not to break her heart if you can Hold o-o-o-n To whatever you can until it's gone Carry o-o-o-n For none of us will be here for too lo-o-o-ng verse 2 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 make me laugh But I hold o-o-o-n To whatever I can until it's gone I'll Carry o-o-o-n For none of us will be here for too lo-ong lo-o-o-ng Bridge: 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? Outro 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
