So Far Away
Avenged Sevenfold Lyrics

Never feared for anything
I lived my life without any fear.

Never shamed but never free
I was never ashamed of anything, but I was never truly free.

A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could
I tried to heal someone's broken heart with all the love and care I could provide.

Lived a life so endlessly
I lived my life without ever feeling like there was an end to it.

Saw beyond what others see
I had the ability to see things differently from others.

I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
I did everything in my power to help someone overcome their emotional pain.

Will you stay?
I hope you stay by my side.

Will you stay away forever?
I'm afraid you will leave and never come back.

How do I live without the ones I love?
It's hard to live without the people we love the most.

Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Time keeps moving forward, even though we wish it wouldn't.

Place and time always on my mind
I can't stop thinking about the memories of the past and how time has passed.

I have so much to say but you're so far away
I have so much I want to tell you, but I can't because you're not here.

Plans of what our futures hold
We had big plans for our future together.

Foolish lies of growing old
I was foolish to think we could grow old together and live happily ever after.

It seems we're so invincible
We thought nothing could tear us apart and we were invincible.

The truth is so cold
The reality of our situation is heartbreaking and cold.

A final song, a last request
This is the last song I'll sing for you, my love.

A perfect chapter laid to rest
Our perfect love story has come to an end.

Now and then I try to find
Sometimes I try to find a way to keep your memory alive.

A place in my mind
A special place in my mind where you will always live on.

Where you can stay
A place where your memory can stay.

You can stay away forever
Even though you're gone, your memory will always stay with me.

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (not afraid)
Rest in peace, my love. I'm not afraid for you anymore.

The ones that we love are here with me
Even though you're gone, the love we shared is still alive in my heart.

Lay away a place for me (place for me)
Prepare a place for me in the afterlife.

'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
I'll join you as soon as my time on earth is done.

To live eternally
To live forever in the afterlife with you.

And the light you left remains
The light of your love still shines in my life.

But it's so hard to stay
It's hard to stay strong without you by my side.

When I have so much to say and you're so far away
I wish I could tell you everything that's going on, but you're so far away from me.

I love you, you were ready
I love you more than anything, and I know you were ready to leave this world.

The pain is strong and urges rise
The pain of losing you is overwhelming and it's hard to control my emotions.

But I'll see you, when He lets me
I'll see you again someday in the afterlife when God allows it.

Your pain is gone, your hands untied
You're no longer in pain, and free to do whatever you want in the afterlife.

So far away (so far)
It feels like you're so far away from me, even though you're just in the afterlife.

And I need you to know
I want you to know how much I still love and miss you.

So far away (so far)
No matter how many times I say it, it will never feel like you're close enough.

And I need you to, need you to know
I need you to know how much I still love and miss you, even though you're gone.
