Chorus:
Longing for your love,
Knowing it’s a dream I’ll never hold,
And in my heart, you’ll always be that distant star that I’ll never reach.
Verse 1:
In crowded rooms, you’re all I can see,
Your glance brings back memories
Of what we couldn’t be.
You’re on my mind constantly,
Everything reminds me of your sight,
And all those memories consume my heart,
Leaving me weak,
Reminding me of the star I’ll never reach.
Chorus:
Longing for your love,
Knowing it’s a dream I’ll never hold,
And in my heart, you’ll always be that distant star that I’ll never reach.
Verse 2:
I write you letters I’ll never send,
Dream of a world where we’d never end,
Thoughts of your hair and eyes return to my mind.
The love we shared felt like destiny,
But reality pulls me further from the dream,
Of the star I’ll never reach.
Bridge:
So I’ll keep writing my letters,
Consumed by thoughts of you,
I begged you to stay with me,
But you ran to him instead.
And though these bittersweet dreams haunt me,
I’ll cherish the love of the star I’ll never reach.
Chorus:
Longing for your love,
Knowing it’s a dream I’ll never hold,
And in my heart, you’ll always be that distant star that I’ll never reach.
Outro:
So when I lay my head down at night,
I’ll be reminded of you
You’ve become the star I’ll never reach,
But I’ll cherish the memories we made,
Just you and me.
