Far Away

Nickelback · The Best Of Nickelback - Volume 1 [2013]

This time, this place

Misused, mistakes

Too long, too late

Who was I to make you wait?



Just one chance, just one breath

Just in case there's just one left

'Cause you know

You know, you know



I love you

I loved you all along

I miss you

Been far away, for far too long



I keep dreaming

You'll be with me, and you'll never know

Stop breathing

If I don't see you anymore



On my knees, I'll ask

Last chance for one last dance

''Cause with you, I'd withstand

All of hell to hold your hand



I'd give it all, I'd give for us

Give anything but I won't give up

'Cause you know

You know, you know



I love you

I loved you all along

I miss you

Been far away, for far too long



I keep dreaming

You'll be with me, and you'll never know

Stop breathing

If I don't see you anymore



(So far away, so far away)

(Been far away, for far too long)

(So far away, so far away)

(Been far away, for far too long)



But you know

You know, you know



I wanted

I wanted you to stay

'Cause I needed

I need to hear you say



I love you (I love you)

I loved you all along

I forgive you (I forgive you)

For being away, for far too long



So keep breathing

'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore

Believe it, hold on to me

And never let me go



Keep breathing

'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore

Believe it, hold on to me

And never let me go



(Keep breathing) Hold on to me

And never let me go

(Keep breathing) Hold on to me

And never let me go
