Nama Avenged Sevenfold diambil dari salah satu kisah di dalam bibel. Walaupun mengambil nama dari bibel, M.Shadows mengakui bahwa bandnya tidak terlalu religius ataupun bertujuan untuk menyebarkan suatu kepercayaan religi atau poltik kepada penggemarnya.
Dalam perjalanannya, Avenged Sevenfold sempat berganti aliran dari metal-core menjadi lebih ke arah alternative metal. Rumor yang beredar mengatakan hal ini dikarenakan sang vokalis, M.Shadows harus menjalani operasi akibat pita suaranya yang sobek akibat melakukan scream yang terlalu keras pada sebuah konser. Namun dalam setiap kesempatan wawancara, Avenged Sevenfold sering menyangkal kebenaran rumor ini. Perubahan aliran yang mereka lakukan lebih dikarenakan mereka amat menyenangi melakukan eksperimental dalam bermusik dan ingin melakukan evolusi dalam gaya dan aliran bermusik mereka.
Avenged Sevenfold memiliki lambang yang merekan namakan “Deathbat”.

Lambang ini dirancang oleh teman semasa SMA mereka,
Micah Montague.

Lambang ini selalu muncul di setiap konser mereka dan hampir selalu ada di setiap album mereka.
Album pertama mereka, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet direkam ketika mereka masih berumur 18 tahun. Album ini dirilis dengan label Good Life Recordings, tetapi setelah gitaris Synyster Gates masuk Avenged Sevenfold, album ini dirilis ulang dengan label Hopeless Records. Lagu “To End The Rapture” juga direkam ulang, kali ini ditambahkan dengan permainan gitar Synyster Gates.

Dan akhirnya dirilis pada bulan juli 2001. Walaupun yang bermain bass dalam rekaman pembentukan album adalah Justin Sane, namun pemain bass yang tertera dalam CD skin adalah Daemon Ash. Hal ini dikarenakan sesaat sebelum proses mixing album tersebut, Justin Sane dikeluarkan dari band dan digantikan Johnny Christ.

Sampai saat ini belum diketahui penyebab terusirnya Justin Sane dari band tersebut.
Pada tahun 2003, mereka pun merilis full-length album kedua mereka yang bertajuk Waking The Fallen. Album ini terjual sebanyak 175.000 copy di Amerika Serikat dan mencapai peringkat 12 di dalam Independent Album Chart di Amerika Serikat.
Album ketiga mereka, City of Evil, rilis di tahun 2005. Album tersebut merupakan salah satu album tersukses dari Avenged Sevenfold. Bahkan album tersebat sempat menduduki posisi 30 dalam US Billboard Chart dan terjual sebanyak 730.000 copy di Amerika Serikat saja. Saat itu Amerika Serikat tengah jenuh dengan musik hip-hop dan pop yang merajalela, lalu Avenged Sevenfold merilis album mereka City of Evil tepatnya pada tanggal 8 Juni, 2005. Hits single Bat Country merupakan lagu metal/rock pertama yang merajai MTV TRL. Mereka mempopulerkan kembali solo gitar dengan duet gitaris Synyster Gates dan Zacky Vengeance yang benar-benar memanaskan area moshpit. Album tersebut mendapat sertifikat gold dan memenangkan predikat Best New Artist in a Video di MTV VMA 2006 untuk lagu Bat Country.
Pada tahun 2007, mereka pun kembali menelurkan album baru yang bertajuk Avenged Sevenfold. Dalam debutnya di Amerika Serikat, album ini menempati posisi ke empat dalam Billboard 200. Album ini terjual sebanyak 94.000 copy di Amerika Serikut dalam kurun waktu satu minggu setelah perilisannya. Awal Agustus 2007, mereka menjalani tur Asia Pasifik mereka, dan sempat mampir di Indonesia dan memainkan lagu mereka pertama kali di depan publik. Lagu yang berjudul Almost Easy tersebut mendapat sambutan hangat dari penggemar di seluruh dunia. Ketika itu band punk Jogjakarta Endang Soekamti didaulat menjadi band pembuka.
 
Tahun 2008, mereka berpartisipasi sebagai headliners di tour Taste of Chaos bersama dengan Bullet for My Valentine,
Atreyu,

Blessthefall

dan Idiot Pilot.

Ketika tour, mereka merekam sebuah DVD yang mengandung 6 lagu baru mereka.
Dan di tahun 2008, mereka merilis sebuah album yang berisi rekaman live concert mereka di Long Beach, California yang bertajuk Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough.

Ciri khas
Ciri khas yang dapat andda nikmati dalam setiap musik mereka adalah nyanyian yang melodik dan screaming, hardcore riffs dan storming drum-beats. Dalam hal bermusik, Avenged Sevenfold banyak dipengaruhi oleh band-band seperti Pantera, NOFX, Misfits, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Dream Theater dan Iron Maiden.

Mereka cenderung memainkan nuansa agresif pada vokal, gitar, dan drum (bass tetap statis). Dengan sentuhan yang dinamis, mau keras atau lambat, mereka tetap menggunakan harmonisasi yang luar biasa dan komposisi yang teratur. Sebut saja lagu-lagu yang sedikit melow, seperti Seize The Day dan Dear God, gitarnya tetap di drop Dm seperti halnya metal-metal kebanyakan. Kemudian, ciri khasnya selain komposisi dan drop, Syn memasukkan nuansa sweep picking (arpeggio) di hampir semua lagunya. Keindahan sweep picking yang dipadukan dengan kromatik, slide, dan teknik-teknik lainnya bisa kita dengar di lagu The Wicked End. Kemudian selain itu, tidak lupa juga sentuhan akustik yang membawa suasana seperti di Hawaii, bisa kita dengar di lagu Sidewinder. Tapi, satu lagi ciri khas yang tidak pernah lepas dari mereka, menduetkan gitar Syn dan Zacky, memakai double bass dengan tempo yang beberapa kali lipat beat-nya dari biasanya.

Band ini dibentuk pada tahun 1999 di Huntington Beach, California dengan anggota asli M. Shadows, Zacky Vengeance, The Rev dan Matt Wendt. M. Shadows memberi nama sebagai referensi untuk cerita Cain dan Abel dari Alkitab, meskipun bukan band agama. Setelah pembentukannya, masing-masing anggota band ini juga mengangkat nama samaran yang sudah nama panggilan dari mereka dari SMA. Sebelum merilis album debut mereka, band ini merekam dua demo pada tahun 1999 dan 2000. Album pertama mereka, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, direkam ketika anggota band berumur delapan belas tahun dan di sekolah menengah. Ini pada awalnya dirilis pada label pertama mereka, Good Life Record pada tahun 2001. Setelah gitaris Synyster Gates bergabung dengan band, pada akhir 1999 ketika ia berusia 18 tahun di pengantar lagu “To End the Rapture” adalah rekaman ulang menampilkan elemen band penuh. Album ini kemudian dirilis ulang pada Hopeless Records pada tahun 2002.
Band ini mulai menerima pengakuan, tampil dengan band-band seperti Mushroomhead dan Shadows Fall dan bermain di Take Action Tour. Setelah menetap di keempat mereka bassis, Johnny Christ, mereka merilis Waking the Fallen di Hopeless Records pada bulan Agustus 2003. Band menerima profil di Billboard dan The Boston Globe, dan bermain di Vans Warped Tour. Pada tahun 2004, Avenged Sevenfold tur lagi di Vans Warped Tour dan merekam video untuk lagu “Unholy Confessions “yang masuk ke rotasi pada MTV2′s Headbanger’s Ball. Tak lama setelah merilis Waking the Fallen, Avenged Sevenfold meninggalkan Hopeless Records dan telah ditandatangani ke Warner Bros.

"a7x-Welcome To The Family"

Hey kids! (hey kids)
Do I have your attention?
I know the way you've been living
Life's so reckless, tragedy endless
Welcome to the family

Hey!
There's something missing
Only time will alter your vision
Never in question, lethal injection
Welcome to the family

Not long ago you'd find the answers were so crystal clear
Within a day you found yourself living in constant fear
Can you look at yourself now?
Can you look at yourself?
You can't win this fight

And in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb and
Our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside,
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight!

Hey kids!
I have to question
What's with the violent aggression?
Details blurry, lost him too early
Welcome to the family

Hey!
Why won't you listen?
Can't help the people you're missing
It's been done, a casualty re-run
Welcome to the family

I try and help you with the things that can't be justified
I need to warn you that there is no way to rationalize
So have you figured it out now?
So have you figured it out?
You can't win this fight

And in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb and
Our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside,
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight!

Gunning for you and all mankind,
I've lost my mind
Psychotic rabid dementia
I won't be fine

I see, you're a king who's been dethroned
Cast out, in a world you've never known
Stand down, place your weapons by your side
It's our war, in the end we'll surely lose but that's alright!

So have you figured it out now?
So have you figured it out?

And in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb and
Our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside,
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight

Deep inside,
where nothing's fine
I lost my mind
You're not invited,
so step aside
I've lost my,

Deep inside,
where nothing's fine
I lost my mind
You're not invited,
so step aside
I've lost my...


"a7x-bat Country"

He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.

I tried to drive all through the night,
The heat stroke ridden weather,
the barren empty sights.
No oasis here to see,
the sand is singing deathless words to me.

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me
and you know I don't want the attention.

As I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights
will take me to new heights.
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite.
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right.
Mental fiction follows me;
show me what it's like to be set free.

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know
I don't want the attention.

So sorry you're not here
I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.
Now take a trip with me
but don't be surprised
when things aren't what they seem.

Caught here in a fiery blaze,
won't lose my will to stay.
These eyes won't see the same,
after I flip today.

Sometimes I don't know
why we'd rather live than die,
We look up towards the sky
for answers to our lives.
We may get some solutions
but more just pass us by,
Don't want your absolution
cause I can't make it right.
I'll make a beast out of myself,
gets rid of all the pain of being a man.

Can't you help me
as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses
and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me
on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know
I don't want the attention.

So sorry you're not here
I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.
Now take a trip with me
but don't be surprised
when things aren't what they seem.
I've known it from the start all these good ideas
will tear your brain apart.
Scared but you can follow me
I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. 

 

"a7x-tension"

I wake up every morning, bright and early
Roll out of bed but I'm never quite alone
Tension is pulling me in all directions
And all these problems use me as their own
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
At any time I could explode
I need some piece of mind, it's got me tired
Don't wanna lose it, but I'm turning down that road

I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself to thin
We all need a moment in our lives
Work's hard, the days too long
And that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time

I sit in traffic every single morning
Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the grind
Making the money so I feed my family
But I can't raise them, 'cause I ain't got the time
I got no free days on my busy schedule
I turn the page and it's the same
Don't like my situation, you don't either
Don't wanna look back scared I'm workin' life away

I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself to thin
We all need a moment in our lives
Work's hard, the days too long
And that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time

But every now and then
I drive alone
An open road
Hot summer day
A gentle breeze that feels alright
On the road
And I can feel no pain
Only strength
Enjoy the sights
I feel alive
Relaxing here just feels alright
Far from home

I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself to thin
We all need a moment in our lives
Work's hard, the days too long
And that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time


"a7x-A Little Piece Of Heaven"

 

Before the story begins, is it such a sin,
for me to take what's mine, until the end of time
We were more than friends, before the story ends,
And I will take what's mine, create what God would never design

Our love had been so strong for far too long,
I was weak with fear that
something would go wrong,
before the possibilities came true,
I took all possibility from you

Almost laughed myself to tears,
(ha hahahahaha)
conjuring her deepest fears
(come here you fucking bitch)

Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times,
I can't believe it,
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes,
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it

She was never this good in bed even when she was sleeping
now she's just so perfect I've never been quite so fucking deep in
it goes on and on and on,
I can keep you looking young and preserved forever,
with a fountain to spray on your youth whenever

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
and a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’cause everybody's gotta die sometime,
We fell apart, let's make a new start
’cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah
but baby don't cry

Now possibilities I'd never considered,
are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard,
Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave,
to repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved

Smiling right from ear to ear
Almost laughed herself to tears

Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it

Now that it's done I realize the error of my ways
I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave

I gotta make up for what I've done
’Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
while you burned in hell, no peace forever

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
and a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime,
We fell apart, let's make a new start
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah
But baby don't cry

I will suffer for so long
(What will you do, not long enough)
To make it up to you
(I pray to God that you do)
I'll do whatever you want me to do
(Well then I’ll grant you one chance) *
And if it's not enough
(If it’s not enough, If it’s not enough)
If it's not enough
(Not enough)
Try again
(Try again)
And again
(And again)
Over and over again

We’re coming back, coming back
We’ll live forever, live forever
Let’s have wedding, have a wedding
Let’s start the killing, start the killing

Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life?
Yes, I do
Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life?
I do
I now pronounce you

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime,
We fell apart, let's make a new start
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah
But baby don't cry 
 
 
"a7x- 4:00 AM"
 
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

There's a place where nothing seems to be a simple cry cohesively
It's all your mind, all your mind
Something little shouldn't feel this way, we got a million thoughts we can't convey
It's all your life, all your life

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

These things don't happen here, another fictional reality
It's all you'll find, all you'll find
It's just as good as any other day, I'm gonna teach you about mortality
No, it's not right, it's not right

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

In many ways, I guess I'll never let you go
I'm close behind but I've got room here left to grow
Until our second chance, just enjoy the dance,
And find out who we are (these dreams will never leave you)
Let's find out what we are (these dreams will never leave you)
(Never leave you asking why)

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running
I know why you're running away

a7x-Nightmare

Nightmare
(Now your nightmare comes to life)

Dragged you down below
Down to the devil’s show
To be his guest forever
(Peace of mind is less than never)
Hate to twist your mind
But God ain’t on your side
An old acquaintance severed
(Burn the world your last endeavor)

Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air
'Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal)
So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
You’re now a slave until the end of time here
Nothing stops the madness turning, haunting, yearning, pull the trigger

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Ooooh
It’s your fuckin’ nightmare
(While your nightmare comes to life)

Can’t wake up in sweat
'Cause it ain’t over yet
Still dancin' with your demons
(Victim of your own creation)
Beyond the will to fight
Where all that’s wrong is right
Where hate don’t need a reason
(Loathing self-assassination)

You’ve been lied to just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel)
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell ya
"Given with the best intentions,
Help you with your complications"

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Ooooh
It’s your fuckin’ nightmare
Hahahaha

(Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha)

Fight (fight)
Not to fail (fail)
Not to fall (fall)
Or you’ll end up like the others
http://www.elyricsworld.com/nightmare_lyrics_avenged_sevenfold.html
Die (die)
Die again (die)
Drenched in sin (sin)
With no respect for another

Oh

Down (down)
Feel the fire (fire)
Feel the hate (hate)
Your pain is what we desire
Lost (lost)
Hit the wall (wall)
Watch you crawl (crawl)
Such a replaceable liar

And I know you hear their voices
(Calling from above)
And I know they may seem real
(These signals of love)
But our life’s made up of choices
(Some without appeal)
They took for granted your soul
And it’s ours now to steal
(As your nightmare comes to life)

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Ooooh
It’s your fuckin’ nightmare

a7x-Critical Aclaim

a7x-critical aclaim

Shhh, be quiet; you might piss somebody off
Like me motherfucker you've been at it for too long
While you feed off others' insecurities
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

I've had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
A clone

So how does it feel to know that someone's kid
in the heart of America has blood on their hands
fighting to defend your rights
so you can maintain a lifestyle
that insults his very existence?
Well, where I'm from we have a special
salute that we aim high in the air
towards all those pompous assholes
who spend their days pointing fingers
(Fuck You)

Shhh… be quiet you might piss somebody off
Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long
I'll be damned if you count me in as part of your generous hypocrisy
collecting enemies

Tabloid gossip queen worthless man
(There's no need for us to bury you)
Selfish agenda once again
(Right this way you've dug your own grave)

I've had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
A clone

All the way from the east to the west we
got this high society
looking down on their very foundation
constantly reminding us that our actions
are the cause of all their problems.
Pointing their fingers in every
direction and blaming their
own nation for who wins the elections
They've never contributed a fucking thing to the
country they love to criticize

Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see try and get through
Admitting mistakes can hurt
I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first

Shhh… be quiet you might piss somebody off

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass your fake reflection)

I've had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
A clone

a7x-So Far Away

a7x-So Far Away lyrics

Never feared for anything.
Never shamed but never free.
A light that healed a broken heart with all that it could

Lived a life so endlessly.
Saw beyond what others see.
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could

Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned.
Place and time always on my mind.
I have so much to say but you're so far away.

Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growin' old
It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold.

A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind

Where you can say,
You can stay awake forever.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/avenged_sevenfold/so_far_away.html ]
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned.
Place and time always on my mind.
I have so much to say but you're so far away.

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid.
The ones that we love are here with me.
Lay away a place for me
'Cause as soon as I'm done, I'll be on my way
To live on eternally.

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
When I had so much to say and you're so far away.

I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong and urges rise
But I'll see you
When it lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands untied.

So far away.

I need you to know

So far away
And I need you to,
Need you to know...

"Seize The Day"

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past

I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again?
Woooaaah, so I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
I beg don't leave me

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day [x2 then continues in the background]
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home

a7x-Dear God

Dear God lyrics
Songwriters: Baker, Zachary James; Haner, Jr., Brian Elwin; Sanders, Matthew Charles; Sullivan, James Owen;

A lonely road crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there, back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
?Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps and all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
?Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again

Well, some search never finding a way
Before long they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold when hope begins to fade

A lonely road crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find

Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
?Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again
