General Information
Written by: A. Lee, B. Moody and D. Hodges
Sometimes incorrectly known as "Further Away". Recorded as a demo in 2001-2002 and later made into a B-side on the "Bring Me to Life" single. Performed live regularly during the many legs of the Fallen Tour.
Amy Lee on the song:
![]() |
I think that “Farther Away” is a song that helps young people that feel alone and can't see the light and think is all over; I wrote this thinking when my sister died, as I was having discussions between my parents and in school, I was feeling alone, like nobody could save me [1] | ![]() |
When performed live, back in 2003, Ben Moody would hand his guitar over to a stage hand close to the end of the song and go into a tribal drum solo. This can be seen in the Live in Cologne performance.
"Farther Away" is one of the songs that missed the cut on Fallen.[2]

Lyrics
Fallen outtake
I took their smiles and I made them mine
I sold my soul just to hide the light
And now I see what I really am
A thief, a whore, and a liar
I run to you
And run away from this town
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away
I’m numb to you
Numb and deaf and blind
You give me all but the reason why
I reach but I feel only air at night
Not you, not love, just nothing
I run to you
And run away from this town
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away
Tried to forget you
But without you
I feel nothing
Don’t leave me here
By myself
I can't breathe
I run to you
And run away from this town
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away
I run to you
And run away from this town
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
Demo version
I took their smiles and I made them mine
I sold my soul just to hide the light
And now I see what I really am
A thief, a whore, and a liar
I run to you
And run away from this hell
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away
I’m numb to you
Numb and deaf and blind
You give me all but the reason why
I reach but I feel only air at night
Not you, not love, just nothing
I run to you
And run away from this hell
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away
Don’t leave me here
By myself
I can't breathe
I run to you
And run away from this hell
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away
I run to you
And run away from this hell
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
