LYRICS
Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life to heal 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 it's 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 to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind

Where you can stay
You can stay away 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
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a 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
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
When 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 lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands untied

So far away
And I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to, need you to know

  • My brother and I shared everything since I remember existing. Music was one of those thing. School, clothes, girls, messing with all of our friends. When I wacthed this I cried a lot. I lost him when I was 27 in a car accident. Kind of a movie passed in front my eyes. What hurt me until today is that I lost an opportunity to tell him that I love him so much. Great song.
  • @Jessancy
    I thought I was ready to watch this video again without crying... I was wrong.. The second I see Jimmy at 3:30. Can't contain my tears any longer...

    Beautiful song and lyrics...lost my son 2 years ago...I play this for him wen I go visit...very emotional but it brings me peace....he singing along
  • @Mortiz21
    I lost a good friend around the time this song came out. I now associate memories of him with this song. Avenged did such a great job with this song and it's now one of my favorites of all time. RIP the Rev and my buddy Anthony.
  • Seeing this live really changed me. Their tribute video played in the background on stage. I've never seen so many people in a mosh pit cry, let alone all at once like we all did. I couldn't believe how much it changed me that night.
  • Started listening to them when I was 16, and now I'm 23.. still my favorite songs after so many years 🖤
  • This was my sister's favorite song by Avenged Sevenfold! We played it at her funeral! Along with seize the day and Dear God. 💚💚
  • @derekcox6559
    Why is it that when ever I hear about a musician that was insanely talented and died young, I fall in love with them?
  • This song for my dad.. How do I live without the ones I love? I have so much to say but you are so far away 😢
  • @sayitisntso6743
    One of the best songs ever written and performed...great voice.
  • @erinchevon2618
    This song is the most AMAZINGLY DEEP song ever on so many different levels! I feel it's also one of the most powerful and loving devoted songs out there no way it can be topped. This song makes this band truly show themselves and bares their hearts and souls to the world while helping us all be able to feel everything it stainds for on top of how wonderful they are as a group as human beings that lost someone they truly loved. Words can't express the depth and meaning this song has in my heart. Love your band you guys rock out with your heart's out and I thank you from the bottom of mine for that.
  • When I first saw this I cried. I could feel their pain...I lost my good friend 7 months ago and now I really feel this song from the bottom of my heart. I wish I would’ve stayed with you that night man. I miss you Andrew Volz. RIP to the real ones!

    Had the privilege of meeting Rev and Jonny at the Warped Tour in Michigan. Super nice and chill. I was shocked like everyone else when he passed. I love that A7 keeps his legacy alive.
  • It dosent matter how many times I listen to this song, it's the one that makes me lose it and cry. Wishing I could have one more convo with my dad
