Boats & Birds (Not Mine, Lyrics)

you'll be my star

I'll be your sky

You can hide underneath me and come out at night

When I turn jet black and you sow off your light

I live to let you shine

I live to let you shine

But you can skyrocket away from me

And never come back if you

Find another galaxy

Far

From here

With more room to fly

Just leave me your stardust to remember you by

If you'll be my boat

I'll be your sea

A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity

Ebbing

And flowing

And pushed by a breeze

I live to make you free

I live to make you free

But you can set sail to the west if you want to

And pass the horizon

'Till I can't even see you

Far from here

Where the beaches are wide

Just leave me your wake to remember you by

If you'll be my star

I'll be your sky

You can hide underneath me and come out at night

When I turn jet black

And you show off your light

I live to let you shine

I live to let you shine

But you can skyrocket away from me

And never come back if you find another galaxy

Far from here

With more room to fly

Just leave me your stardust to remember you by

Stardust

To remember you by

Gregory and the Hawk. Hits home. I just need to let go, but I hate letting go of something I've invested so much of my time and life energy into. How do you walk away from something you still care immensely about? How do you throw away 5 years of your life? How do you just move on? How do you let go??

I'm so lost.
