Far Away Lyrics

I can't disguise the things I do
And things I say have a way of hurting you
I'm over there
These dreams are all I have left
I've nothing to spare
I can't pretend to be who I'm not
And there are things you need from me
I haven't got
No way but to end
Pick up the pieces of our lives
And maybe love again
There's only one way for things to be
Between you and me

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 have to admit I am a tad surprised that no one left a comment on this song. Maybe it is the context, but lately Ive really enjoyed this song. Personally, I relate it to a lot thats been going on this past year. Me and my love broke up a little over a year ago, and it was pretty rough. I don`t believe either one of us wanted it, so we kind of still hung out and did things that really only belongs to loving couples.

However, during the last months Ive realized that things cant be this way. It all happened while I fell in love with another girl. Looking bvack, this text can describe how I shouldve acted. I shouldve said no, there is only one way for you and me to be with eachother.

I like the essence of this song. Bottom line it says that even though things between you and me are difficult, we have to define our friendship, as it is the only rational thing to do.

Thanks, John!
