Lyrics[]

Never feared for anything, never chained but never free

A light that healed the broken heart, with all that it could

Lived a life so endlessly, saw beyond what others see

I tried to heal your broken heart, with all that I could

Will you stay? Will you stay away forever?

How do I live without the ones I love?

Time still turns the pages of the book gets burned

Place and time always on my mind

I have so much to say but you're So Far Away

Plans of what our futures hold, foolish lies of growing old

It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold

A final song, a last request, a perfect chapter laid at rest

Now and then I try to find, a place in my mind, where you can stay, you can stay awake forever

How do I live without the ones I love?

Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned

Place and time always on my mind

I have so much to say but you're So Far Away

Sleep tight I'm not afraid (not afraid)

The ones that we love are here with me

Lay away a place for me (place for me)

'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way to live eternally

How do I live without the ones I love?

Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned

Place and time always on my mind

I have so much to say but you're So Far Away

I love you, you were ready, the pain is strong and urges rise

But I'll see you when He let's me

Your pain is gone, your hands untied

So Far Away, and I need you know

So Far Away, and I need you to, need you to know
