Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

Never feared for anything

Expressing a lack of fear throughout life

Never shamed but never free

Not experiencing shame but feeling not truly free

A life to heal your broken heart with all that it could

Offering one's life to mend a broken heart with all available efforts

Lived a life so endlessly

Having lived a seemingly endless life

Saw beyond what others see

Perceiving beyond what others see

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

Attempting to heal someone's broken heart with utmost effort

Will you stay?

Pleading for the person to stay

Will you stay away forever?

Questioning if the person will stay away permanently

How do I live without the ones I love?

Expressing the difficulty of living without loved ones

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

Time continuing to progress, carrying the memories of past experiences

Place and time always on my mind

Constantly thinking about specific moments in the past

I have so much to say but you're so far away

Yearning to communicate with someone who is physically distant

Plans of what our futures hold

Discussing plans for the future

Foolish lies of growing old

Recognizing the falsehood of expectations about aging

It seems we're so invincible

Feeling invincible, despite the cold reality

The truth is so cold

Acknowledging the harsh truth

A final song, a last request

Requesting a final song, indicating closure

A perfect chapter laid to rest

A perfect chapter of life coming to an end

Now and then I try to find

Searching for a mental space to keep memories alive

A place in my mind

Desiring a place in the mind where the person can exist

Where you can stay

Asking if the person can stay in that mental space forever

You can stay away forever

Reiterating the question of staying away

How do I live without the ones I love?

Reiterating the challenge of living without loved ones

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

Time continuing to carry memories in its pages

Place and time always on my mind

Continuously being preoccupied with thoughts of place and time

I have so much to say but you're so far away

Expressing the difficulty of expressing thoughts to someone distant

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid

Assuring that the person can rest peacefully

The ones that we love are here with me

Claiming that the loved ones are still present in spirit

Lay away a place for me

Reserving a place for oneself in the afterlife

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

Anticipating moving on to the afterlife

To live eternally

Expressing a desire to live eternally

How do I live without the ones I love?

Reiterating the difficulty of living without loved ones

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

Time continuing to carry memories despite challenges

Place and time always on my mind

Place and time persistently on the mind

And the light you left remains

Acknowledging the enduring impact of the departed

But it's so hard to stay

Expressing the challenge of remaining in the current state

When I have so much to say but you're so far away

Feeling the difficulty of expressing thoughts when separated

I love you, you were ready

Declaring love for the departed, acknowledging readiness

The pain is strong and urges rise

Admitting the strength of pain and the rising urge to be reunited

But I'll see you, when He lets me

Expressing anticipation of reunion when permitted by a higher power

Your pain is gone, your hands untied

Acknowledging the relief from pain and freedom in the afterlife

So far away (so far)

Reiterating the emotional distance, emphasizing the departure

And I need you to know

Expressing a need for the departed to know certain emotions

So far away (so far)

Repeating the emotional distance and the desire for understanding

And I need you to, need you to know

Reiterating the need for understanding and connection
