Distant Stars

Once we were lovers and the best of friends
Now we are loners until I don't know when
I miss your smell, I missed it even then
But a reality dispelled has hit us once again
I see you're distant, still, you're not far
I can't caress you like I was used to
I can not whisper close into your ear
That you are mine, that we'll be fine
We took for granted time could not be bent
And friends that we had close they came and went
The seeds we planted they would stretch towards the sky
But the chants we chanted now have changed into a cry
Yes we were planets, now we're distant stars
We are lonely objects, full of scars
Turned into strangers, how could it get this far
A fading picture, a film noir
A glimpse into the future is a window to the past
What we can learn from this, that nothing ever lasts
Whatever we build up will fall, and tear us all apart
But we are all the same, we are each other's counterparts
We're not sculptures, we're not carved out of stone
We might be desolated, but not alone
It can seem hopeless, there is pain and we have fears
But when these days are over these days are over
Well, you can't carry this on your own
No, you can't carry this on your own
