Never feared for anything, never chained but never free I tried to heal the broken love with all I could Lived a life so endlessly saw beyond what others see I tried to heal the broken love with all 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 its 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 awake forever How do I live without the ones I love Time still turns the pages of the book its 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 its 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 and 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 are tied So far away and I need you to know So far away and I need you to need you to know
