Evanescence Lyrics Source

EP Version:

You're too important for anyone.

There's something wrong with everything you see.

But I - I know who you really are:

You're the one who cries when you're alone.

Where will you go

With no one left to save you from yourself?

You can't escape; you don't want to escape.

How ever did you manage to push away

From every living thing you come across?

So afraid that anyone will hate you,

You pretend you hated them first.

Where will you go

With no one left to save you from yourself?

You can't escape the truth.

I realize you're afraid,

But you can't refrain from everything.

You can't escape; you can't escape.

I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands!

Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone?

I can hear you when you whisper,

But you can't even hear me screaming.

And where will you go

With no one left to save you from yourself?

You can't escape the truth.

I realize you're afraid,

But you can't reject the whole world.

You can't escape; you won't escape.

You can't escape; you don't want to escape.

Origin Version:

You're too important for anyone;

You play the role of all you long to be.

But I - I know who you really are:

You're the one who cries when you're alone.

But where will you go

With no one left to save your from yourself?

You can't escape; you can't escape.

You think that I can't see right through your eyes,

Scared to death to face reality.

No one seems to hear your hidden cries.

You're left to face yourself alone.

But where will you go

With no one left to save you from yourself?

You can't escape the truth.

I realize you're afraid,

But you can't abandon everyone.

You can't escape; you don't want to escape.

I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands!

Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone?

I can hear you in a whisper

But you can't even hear me screaming.

Where will you go

With no one left to save you from yourself?

You can't escape the truth.

I realize you're afraid,

But you can't reject the whole world.

You can't escape; you won't escape.

You can't escape; you don't want to escape.
