Evanescence Lyrics
What You Want
Do what you what you want,
If you have a dream for better
Do what you what you want,
‘Till you don’t want it anymore
(Remember who you really are)
Do what you what you want,
Your world’s closing in you now
(It isn’t over)
Stand and face the unknown
( Got to remember who you really are)
Every heart in my hand’s like a pale reflection,
Hello, Hello remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe we can break through,
Do what you what you want,
You don’t have to lay your life down
(It isn’t over)
Do what you what you want,
Till you find what you’re looking for
(Got to remember who you really are)
But every hour slipping by screams that I’ve failed you,
Hello, hello remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe
Hello, hello remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe
There’s still time,
Close you eyes only love will guide you home,
Tear down the walls and free your soul
‘Till we crash we are forever spiraling
Down, down, down, down
Hello Hello, it’s only me infecting everything you love
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe
Hello, hello remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to learn forgiveness,
Hello, hello remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe we can peak through,
(Remember who you really are)
Do what you what you want !

Made Of Stone
Speak your mind.
Like I care.
I can see your lips moving.
I just learn not to hear.
Don’t waste your time.
It’s never enough for you, baby.
Don’t wanna play your game anymore - no matter what you say.
I all outta love for you, baby.
And now that I’ve tried everything I’ll numb the pain until I’m made of
stone.
Take your time.
I’m not scared.
Make me everything you need me to be
So the judgement seems fair.
Don’t waste your time.
It’s never enough for you baby.
Don’t wanna play your game anymore - no matter what you say.
I all outta love for you, baby.
And now that I’ve tried everything I’ll numb the pain until I’m made…
…To tear at my heart
For the way that it feels
I will still remember when you’ve long forgotten me.
It’s never enough for you, baby.
Don’t wanna play your game anymore - no matter what you say.
I all outta love for you, baby.
And now that I’ve tried everything I’ll numb the pain until I’m made of
stone.
Its never enough (I’m not gonna play)
Its never enough (your game)
Its never enough
I’ll numb the pain till I am made of stone
Numb the pain till I am made of stone.

The Change
Thought that I was strong
I know the words to say
Frozen in my place
I let the moment slip away
I’ve been screaming
On the inside
And I know you feel the pain
Can you heal me?
Can you hear me?
Haaa…
Say it’s over,
Yes it’s over
But I need you anyway
Say you love me but it’s not enough
Never meant to lie
But I’m not the girl you think you know
The more that I’m with you
The more that I am all alone
I’ve been screaming
On the inside
And I know you feel the pain
Can you heal me?
Can you hear me?
Haaa…
Say it’s over,
Yes it’s over
But I need you anyway
Say you love me but it’s not enough
Not that I’m so different
Not that I’m,
Don’t say you don’t know
I know what we used to be.
But how couldI forgive you?
You’ve changed!
And I will lie here by your side,
I’m about to lose my mind!
‘Cause I’ve been screaming
On the inside
And I know you feel the pain
Can you heal me?
Can you hear me?
Haaa…
You’ve been dreaming
If you’re thinking
That I still belong to you
I’ll be dying,
‘Cause I’m lying to myself!
Haaa…
Say it’s over,
Yes it’s over
But I need you anyway
Say you love me but it’s not enough

My Heart Is Broken
I will endure till the end of time torn away from you.
I pull away to face the pain.
I close my eyes and drift away.
Over the fear that I will never find
A way to heal my soul.
And I will endure till the end of time
Torn away from you.
My heart is broken
Sweet, sleep my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow’s hold
Or from my hard heart.
I can’t go on living this way
And I can’t go back the way I came
Shamed of this fear that I will never find
A way to heal my soul
And I will endure till the end of time
Half a life without you
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us
Change - open your eyes to the light
I’ve been denying for so long, oh so long
Say goodbye, goodbye
My heart is broken
Release me, I can’t hold on
Deliver us
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow’s hold
——————————————————————
The Other Side
Make me whole again
Open your eyes
Taunted by the shadows of your life
Cold and far away
But not even mine
Undo everything and take me higher
Never believing what they say cause I’m
Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me home
I’m not giving in
I want you back
Holding together by the shards of our past
Stole my heart away
I can’t let you go
Break these chains and let me fly to you…
High above the world below
Over and over
In my mind
Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me home
I am so lost without my place inside your heart
I won’t survive
I need to know you’re near me
I release my love
Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that i see you on the other side
Come and take me
Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waitng
until the day that i see you on the other side
Come and take me home

Erase This
It’s too late to change your mind
Even though this fragile world is tearing apart at the seams
You can’t wash these sins away
A sinking feeling every day
I’m waking up in someone else’s life
Is it so hard for you
Cause it’s so hard for me
To believe in what we dreamed
Could ever come to life again
Cause I cannot erase this lie
I’m not gonna let this day go by
I’m gonna save this wasted life
And nothing can stand in my way
Not enough to say goodbye
Run until there’s nothing left
I’m drowning in the mess that I have made
Is it so hard for you
Cause it’s so hard for me
To believe in what we dreamed
Could ever come to life again
Cause I cannot erase this lie
Someone hear me
The water’s rising around us
There is no other way down
I only have myself to blame
For it all
Is it so hard for you
Cause it’s so hard for me
To believe in what we dreamed
Could ever come to life again
If I could just erase my mind
But I cannot erase this lie
——————————————————————
Lost In Paradise
I’ve been believing in something so distant
As if I was human
And I’ve been denying this feeling of hopelessness
In me, in me
All the promises I made
Just to let you down
You believed in me, but I broke it
I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We’ve been falling for all this time
And now I’m lost in paradise
As much as Id like the best not too exist
It still does
And as much as I like to feel like I belong here
I’m just as scared as you
I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We’ve been falling for all this time
And now I’m lost in paradise
Run away, run away
One day we won’t feel this pain anymore
Take it all the way
Shadows of you
Cause they won’t let me go
So I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We’ve been falling for all this time
And now I’m lost in paradise
Alone, I’m lost in paradise
——————————————————————
Sick
Embrace the silence
Cause there’s nothing that can change the way I feel
Taken all that you wanted
Now there’s nothing that can change the way I feel
Hold on, little girl
‘cause the end is soon to come
Sick of it all, Sick of it all
We will not follow
Sick of it all, Sick of it all
They don’t understand how
Sick we are, Sick we are
Of this bottomless pit of lies
Behind closed eyes
Oceans between us
And there’s nothing that can change the way I feel
I can still taste the poison
Every fall, every breath are ways to heal
Hold on, little girl
The end is soon to come
Sick of it all, Sick of it all
We will not follow
Sick of it all, Sick of it all
They don’t understand how
Sick we are, Sick we are
Of this bottomless pit of lies
Behind closed eyes
Someday you’ll know the feeling
Someday i will break through
And nothing you tell yourself
Will save us from the truth
Screaming out
Sick of it all, Sick of it all
We will not follow
Sick of it all, Sick of it all
They don’t understand how
Sick we are, Sick we are
Of this bottomless pit of lies
Behind closed eyes
——————————————————————
End Of The Dream
I found a grave
Brushed off the face
Felt your light
and I remember why I know this place
I found a bird
Closing her eyes
One last time
And I wonder if she dreamed like me
Well, as much as it hurts,
Ain’t it wonderful to feel?
So go on and bring your wings
Follow your heart
Till it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream
I’m not afraid
I push through the pain
And I’m on fire
I remember how to breathe again
As much as it hurts,
Ain’t it wonderful to feel?
So go on and bring your wings
Follow your heart
Till it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream
Why must we fall apart to understand how to fly?
I will find a way
Even without wings
Follow your heart
Till it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream
Follow your heart
Till it bleeds
And we’ve gone to the end of the dream
——————————————————————
Oceans
Don’t wanna be the one to walk away
But I can’t bear the thought of one more day
I think I finally understand what it means to be lost
Can’t find the road to lead us out of this
A million miles from where we burned the bridge
Can’t keep pretending everything’s gonna be alright
With the whole world falling over me
Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands
For it’s a fall from where we were before
You’ll never find what you’ve been searching for
Something to fill the void
And make up for all of those missing pieces of you
Like I could only dream to do
Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
Everything we believed in was a lie
Cross the oceans in your mind
Find a way to draw the line
In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands
And we never learn
So we fall down again
Help me help me find a way to dream within this nightmare
Oooohhh
Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say good bye
Everything that we believed in was a lie
Cross the oceans in your mind
Find a way to draw the line
In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands
——————————————————————
Never Go Back
Everything is so dark
And I know there’s something wrong
But I can’t turn the light on
In that split second change
When you knew we couldn’t hold on
I realized I lived to love you
Save yourself
Don’t look back
Tearing us apart until it’s all gone
The only world I’ve ever known sleeps beneath the waves
But I remember
I won’t give up on you
I can feel you in my heart, just show me the way
I don’t belong here
Alone
I can still see your face
Where it’s burned into my mind
I die every time
I close my eyes, you’re always there
Save yourself
Don’t look back
Tearing us apart until it’s all gone
The only world I’ve ever known sleeps beneath the waves
But I’m the one who’s drowning
Without your love
I am lost and I can never go back home
All across the ocean
We are calling, calling
Are you there?
Nothing left for me till I find you because it’s
All gone
The only world I’ve ever known sleeps beneath the waves
But I’m the one who’s drowning
Without your love
I am lost and I can never go back
I can never go back home
——————————————————————
Swimming Home
Way down
I’ve been way down
Underneath this skin
Waiting to hear my name again
I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
I adore you still
If I hear them calling
And nothing can hold me
Way down
(Do you really want me?)
All the way down
(Do you really want me?)
I will hear your voice
(Do you really want me?)
But I’ll no longer understand
(No one’s really loved me)
I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
I adore you still
But I hear them calling
I was looking to the sky
When I knew I’d be swimming home
And I cannot betray my kind
They are here - it’s my time
I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
(Do you really want me?)
I adore you still
But I hear them calling - (calling)
And nothing can hold me
