So Far Away
Avenged Sevenfold̀ Lyrics

Never feared for anything, never chained but never free
I have never been scared of anything, but I have also never really felt free in my life.

I tried to heal the broken love with all I could
I made every effort to fix a broken relationship that I had.

Lived a life so endlessly saw beyond what others see
I have lived a long and full life, and have been able to see things that others may not have been able to see.

Will you stay
I'm asking if you'll stick around.

Will you stay away forever
I'm asking if you'll be gone from my life for good.

How do I live without the ones I love?
I don't know how to go on living without the people I care about.

Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Time moves on even when the past is painful and difficult to bear.

Place and time always on my mind
I am constantly reminded of the places and times I shared with the people I miss.

I have so much to say but you're so far away
I have a lot I want to share with you, but distance separates us.

Plans of what our futures hold
We used to dream and plan about what our future would look like.

Foolish lies of growing old
Now those plans seem foolish and naive, especially as we grow older.

It seems we're so invincible
We used to feel unstoppable and unbreakable.

The truth is so cold
But the reality is harsh and unforgiving.

A final song, a last request
I have one final song and request before we part ways for good.

A perfect chapter laid to rest
This is the end of a perfect chapter in our lives.

Now and then I try to find a place in my mind
Every now and then, I try to imagine a place where you're still with me.

Where you can stay you can stay awake forever
A place where you can stay with me and never have to leave.

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid
Rest in peace, I am not scared for you anymore.

The ones that we love are here with me
The people we both loved are still present in my life.

Lay away a place for me 'cause as soon as I'm done
Prepare a place for me to rest, because I will be joining you soon.

I'll be on my way to live eternally
I will be making my way to the afterlife, where I will live forever.

And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
Your memory still shines brightly, but it's difficult to keep going without you.

When I have so much to say and you're so far away
I have so much to share with you, but the distance between us makes it impossible.

I love you, you were ready
I love you and I know that you were prepared when your time came to leave this world.

The pain is strong and urges rise
The pain of losing you is intense and difficult to control.

But I'll see you when He lets me
I look forward to seeing you again when it's my time to leave this world.

Your pain is gone, your hands are tied
I find solace in knowing that you're no longer in pain and that you are at peace.

So far away and I need you to know
Despite the distance between us, I need you to understand how much you mean to me.

So far away and I need you to need you to know
Even though we're apart, I need you to know how much I need you.
