Evanescence

Waking up is knowing who you really are.

Hello, I'm the lie, living for you so you can hide...

Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story.

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

Spoken fears can come true.

Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken...

And though you're still with me
I’ve been alone all along

How could I have burned paradise?
How could I — you were never mine.

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.

You're too important for anyone.
You play the role of all you want to be.
But I — I know who you really are:
You're the one who cries when you're alone.

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something?

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
Isn't something missing?
You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
