Memphis May Fire - Miles Away (Acoustic) ft. Kellin Quinn

I pack my bags and say goodbye to my wife for what seems like the millionth time.
They said it gets easier, but they lied.
She looks at me and says "Really baby? I will be just fine,"
but then she looks away so I don't have to see her cry.
And that is when I ask myself;

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone,
cause I left my heart at home.
She needs me, but I know they need me too.
So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.

Really I'm so thankful for the people I meet,
the places I've been and the things I've seen,
but when she's not here it doesn't feel like I'm living my dream.
I know they say that no one is perfect,
but I swear she's perfect for me and that makes it so much harder to leave.

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone
cause I left my heart at home.
She needs me, but I know they need me too
So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.

If you miss me, I'm just a phone call away.
Please be strong, be strong for me.
I need you to show me how to change the inside of me.
For my heart, for their sake. Be strong, be strong for me!

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone, so alone!

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone,
cause I left my heart at home.
She needs me, but I know they need me too
So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.

The amount of dedication and pride he has for his wife is incredible

[stevengray]

Being married and a father in the military, this song hits me right in the feels. I never know when I am going to have to leave them for months on end for whatever they have me doing. And it's not like I know I will always come back to them when it is all said and down. To have to be so far away for any given time is difficult. And I couldn't do it without my wife being as strong as she is.

[iLikeBandssss]

i wish they'd do more acoustics like this. this is beautiful.

[DukeNukenum]

This song is soo nostalgic for me. Brings me back to when I used to always hang out with people. Now I'm mostly to myself. Appreciate the good times.

[ManTheWombat]

I don't really like acoustics usually, but I fucking love this song. When they played it live and everyone was singing along, I got chills.

[tessa]

KELLIN AND MMF ACED THOSE VOCALS IM SO PROUD

[GrounDweller]

Despite 3 million views, still this vid, this band, this fucking song is underrated. They deserve more.

[canadiangurl]

I love the fact that it's Matty and Kellin because they both have wives. Fucking love the song.

[IDKWTF]

I left my heart in my stomach after hearing this. Jeebus. His voice has so much passion, and the song hits home.

[arourabands]

Kellin's voice goes perfectly along with this song, his pitch goes along with nothing wrong with it at all. Save your hate for someone that cares but Kellin puulled this song off exceptionally well. I love this song over all <3

[morganflick]

Kellin's voice always makes me smile. It's so beautiful. ☺️ he will ALWAYS be my idol and inspiration

[tessa]

THIS MAKES ME SO FUCKING EMOTIONAL AND SAD IM DONE

[cheyforever]

This song makes me want to cry because Matty and Kellin described my life in 4 minutes and 10 seconds. <3 This is why I love them.

[abbygillespie]

In all honesty this is my fave mmf song and it's so emotional got me feeling all the feels

[dontetidwell]

I'm a Navy Sailor and this song inspires me. I love Yasmin

[TheHaileyClementine]

I love the original, but the acoustic melts my heart. Matty Mullins is so perfect and Kellin Quinn is my boo. I can't even handle my emotions right now

[madisynjohnson]

I feel so much more emotion in this version, its honestly heartbreakingly beautiful. you can feel the pain of his struggle of being so far away from home for months at a time and he is torn because he wants to be there for the people he loves but he also loves his fans and needs to be there for them as well and its just.... ugh it makes me so emotional... <3 in conclusion, I love this version way more than the original.

[zachanthony]

My girlfriend will have passed 10 years ago going on July of next year and this is still the song I sing hoping she is still listening and singing along with me. Time goes on but it doesn't get easier you just learn to adapt over time. The love you have for people will never die. R.i.p. chelsea forever and always in my heart

[julietc]

Kellin takes this song to the next level. The feels 😰

[souzaw]

Essa música fez parte da minha adolescência. Especificamente quando eu estava no 1º ano do Ensino médio. Com ela vieram as lembranças de amigos da época, da vida que se levava, sem preocupações, e dos momentos nostálgicos...
