Staind- So far away lyrics

Amazing song :)

This is my life
Its not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these are my dreams
That I'd never lived before
Somebody shake me
Cause I, I must be sleeping

(chorus)
Now that we're here,
It's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes,
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here its so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive and I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today

These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing ok
And this is the smile
That I've never shown before

Somebody shake me
Cause I, I must be sleeping

(chorus)

I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me

(chorus)

This song speaks volumes to be I was homeless and a drug addict shooting meth and heroin been in and out of prison and thought my life was over now I work full time and help run a clean and sober house just celebrated 4 years clean and sober the other day and this song still speaks to me

[FINL_BOSS]

Took me 14 years to get clean and im sitting here listening to this song with tears in my eyes. Thank you staind for this song.

I'm 48 years old and finally understand this song And I'm finally happy with who I am God-bless stained for this song

Staind songs are very painful to listen to, just too much raw emotions and Aaron's singing is straight from his heart - True legend

[matthewmayhem]

If you're listening to this in 2020, you're an even bigger legend.

"All the mistakes one life contained, they all finally start to go away"
God knew I needed this today, I'm literally in tears.

This was mine and my ex-husband's wedding song. We had met in rehab and found this song to me in something to both of us. Although our marriage didn't last we have an amazing son together and still remain friends. The song means a lot to me and always will for many reasons

This song was playing on my Bluetooth speaker the day I had a overdose in 2018, I was near death and this was the last thing I remembered hearing before I woke up in the hospital. This song has a very dark meaning for me as well as a reminder of the promise that I made to myself and my family that I’d stay sober. And today my life has Changed for the greater good, and I’m not ashamed to be the person that I am today.

How could you ever dislike this song?
This song represents all the pain I have endured as a child and as a teenager. Growing up with every type of abuse... And then turning to opiates. I wanted to take my life. I thought I was nothing, and I had no reason to live.
I am now one year clean, and looking back, I am so glad I didn't take my life. "And I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed, to be the person that I am today."
Life is beautiful, and WE DO RECOVER ♥️ 1/07/17

This reminds me of a time when I was lost in my addiction and I couldn't see a way out. This makes me cry t tears of happiness, because I made it. Clean and sober. And I feel like I can face the day, and I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today. ❤

“And...I’m not ashamed to be the person that I am today” !!!! So powerful❤️

[jasonbentley]

It's 2023 and still listening to this awesome song. I could never get tired of Staind's music.

[jodishelley]

This song is perfect for me, coming out of a 9 year abusive marriage. So liberating.

[LidLovesLyrics]

I'm awake and the pain is real but God Almighty didn't give us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind Amen!

[HeyIamCraig]

I heard this song play in my head while I was praying, it feels like God's telling me I shouldn't be ashamed of who I am anymore now that I've given my life to His Son, Jesus

[schnitzjr]

Old enough to remember when Staind first hit the airwaves.
Worked hard to not feel ashamed of the person I am today yet still feel ashamed to be the person I am today.
The journey continues.

[MichiganChet]

It’s still 2024 and this song gets me every time…I’m not an addict but I went through my own very dark and shameful time, and now thank God the nightmare ended and I can forgive and I’m not ashamed to be the person that I am today

Going through infantry basic, music was a very rare treat. The last few days leading up to graduation, most are quite spent physically and emotionally. Sitting in formation, cleaning our weapons and equipment in preparation for the next cycle, a small radio sat on a chair in front of us. The unmistakable opening notes caught my attention and I quietly sang along to myself. When I stood up to reorganize my items, I noticed that almost everyone else was singing along as well, all quietly to themselves. Cheesy as it is looking back, it was a pretty special moment. We were all in sync.

It's safe to say we all came here for the same reason? keep on pushing people. The sun shines after the storm.
peace and love.

If you’re listening to this in 2021 you are the ULTIMATE legend
