So far away
The Goo Goo Dolls Lyrics

Why do you stare me down?
You're looking at me with such intensity, making me feel uneasy and judged.

Am I wrong?
Perhaps I've made a mistake, but I'm not exactly sure what I'm being criticized for.

Should I turn and kiss the ground?
Seems like you want me to apologize and give in, even to the point of groveling at your feet.

And I never felt that way
This kind of pressure and aggression is unfamiliar to me, and it's making me uncomfortable.

I ain't the one and you know I don't come from such a place
I'm not the kind of person who thrives in conflict, and I come from a different background than you.

And I didn't get those things
I don't understand the things you are accusing me of, or the emotions you are trying to provoke.

Those things that you can't grow
These are issues or insecurities that cannot be resolved by attacking others, and cannot be changed easily.

You say that it's all my fault
You are blaming me entirely for something that is probably not entirely my responsibility.

And I don't need to know
I'm not interested in engaging in a one-sided argument or accepting all of the blame without discussion.

Tell me something I don't know
If you have something new to say that will address the misunderstanding or conflict, then I am willing to listen.

And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me
I'm becoming paranoid and defensive, always looking over my shoulder for a potential attack or criticism from you.

You said that it's all been said before
You're dismissing my concerns or perspective, implying that I'm not saying anything original or valid.

Now I find that there's something I don't know
Despite your criticism and frustration, there are still many things that I don't understand about this situation or your perspective.

And I hate your attitude
Your aggressive and dismissive attitude is not helping to resolve the conflict, and is instead making things worse.

I ain't scared at all 'cause it don't matter what you do
Your actions or words cannot intimidate me or change my perspective, because I'm confident in my own experience and values.

And I'll turn around to see the truth
Instead of reacting angrily or defensively, I'm going to try to get more information and see the situation from your point of view.

You're tearing it down, yeah, you're bringing it down
Your negativity and criticism is destroying any potential for peace or compromise in this situation.

And it's all on you
You are responsible for the toxic dynamic that is starting to take hold between us.

And I know
Despite my insecurities and doubts, I'm eventually going to find clarity and peace.

I don't know
There are still many things that I have yet to understand or come to terms with in this situation.

(Rock and roll)
Just a fun interjection and nod to the genre of music.

And I'll stay there
Even though this situation is difficult and confusing, I'm going to try and face it with courage and resilience.

If you break enough glass and there's no one to hear
Sometimes we break things or lash out at others when we feel frustrated, but that doesn't mean it's always justified or appropriate.

And your heart's full of hate 'cause your mind's full of fear
Typically, when we attack others or feel aggressive, it's rooted in a deeper fear or insecurity that we aren't acknowledging.

Let it go
To move forward, sometimes it's necessary to forgive ourselves and others, and let go of the pain and anger.

Oh, so far away
This kind of conflict and tension can feel very isolating and far away from any resolution or peace.

(Something I don't know)
Again, expressing a desire to learn something new and approach the situation with an open mind.

So far away
Despite any attempts to understand or resolve the conflict, it still feels out of reach or distant.

So far away
The tension and confusion may take time to resolve, even if we are actively trying to find a solution.

So far away
Despite the hope for resolution, the pain and frustration of the situation may still linger or feel far away from any sense of peace.
