"Distance Lullaby" by Laufey explores the bittersweet experience of letting go of a first love that felt real, despite the miles in between. This deeply emotional song resonates with anyone who has navigated the complexities of a long-distance bond that never quite became a relationship but shaped their heart nonetheless.
[Verse 1]
We shared a sky but not a touch
Endless nights, we talked so much
A love so real, it never grew
Now I see, it’s time to let you go
[Pre-Chorus]
Dreams we wove in whispers low
Echoes fade, I have to know
[Chorus]
How do you say goodbye to a love that never was?
A dream woven in the stars, now it must dissolve
Miles apart, we played our roles
It’s time to close the chapter, grow a different soul
[Verse 2]
In a world where distance ruled
Hearts entwined by pixels cool
Promises of someday soon
Underneath a faraway moon
[Pre-Chorus]
Embers of our distant fire
Fade away, it’s time to retire
[Chorus]
How do you say goodbye to a love that never was?
A dream woven in the stars, now it must dissolve
Miles apart, we played our roles
It’s time to close the chapter, grow a different soul
[Bridge]
Love unspoken, yet so loud
In the silence, I’m not proud
Letting go, like letting fall
A leaf unheld, it must be all
[Chorus]
How do you say goodbye to a love that never was?
A dream woven in the stars, now it must dissolve
Miles apart, we played our roles
It’s time to close the chapter, grow a different soul
[Outro]
Whispered lullabies from afar
Fade into the morning star
Goodbye to a love that tried
In echoes, forever reside

letting go of your first love, who, although you weren't in a relationship, still acted like you were in one. this was a long distance relationship
