A Million Light Years Away Lyrics

I don't know what to do I don't know who you are I'm calling from the silence
We have gone too far
I try to understand you,
your life has been so cruel
Please try to see it my way
I've got something to say

All those years were not in vain
Even though there was much pain

I try to learn from my mistakes
I want to make it up to you

A million light years away from you
I am
A million light years away from you

I hope that you'd respect my honesty and faith
and maybe you'd forgive me
If I could make you see I want to say I'm sorry
For what I did to you I'll get on with my life
I hope you do that too
All those years
were not in vain
even though there was much pain

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's about a man and a woman who are/were in a relationship, and they have grown emotionally apart, and they no longer care much for each other.

I always took it as some sort of horrible love story. Where one person was dedicated to the other, but eventually they did something so unforgivable that they felt the only way to make it up to the one they hurt, was to get out of their life.

in the song, the person singing clearly describes basically the furthest distance away from the other that they can possibly be without making the song sound kinda silly. ( For all you people going "Oh no, he could be a billion light years away, or a trillion... ect.) Because basically they want their former love to be as far away from them as possible so there will never be a worry of bringing up the horrible thing that has come to pass.
