Track Lyrics
Never Go Back Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 live to love you
[Pre-Chorus]
Save yourself
Don't look back
Tearing us apart until it's
[Chorus]
All gone
The only world I've ever known
Sleeps beneath the waves
But I remember
[Verse 2]
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 (Oh-ah)
I die every time
I close my eyes, you're always there
[Pre-Chorus]
Save yourself
Don't look back
Tearing us apart until it's
[Chorus]
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
[Piano Solo]
[Bridge]
All across the ocean
We are calling, calling
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, are you there?
Nothing left for me 'till I find you
Because it's
[Chorus]
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, ah
[Outro]
I can never go back home
HiāLo Lyrics
[Verse 1: Amy Lee]
I don't know your heart
I don't know where to begin
But I could feel you erasing the rivers I'd drawn in
The more I stood still
The faster you were running
You don't know how it feels crawling under your skin
So far, so far away
Don't you know we could be
[Chorus: Amy Lee]
High or Low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you
But I never forgot you
[Verse 2: Amy Lee]
I can't be your friend
Hold your hand while you bleed
There's nothing left to give you
Nothing more I need
Time to let it sleep
Oh, the damage was real
But nothing cut me so deep I could not heal
Don't you know we could be
[Chorus: Amy Lee]
High or Low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you
But I never forgot you
[Violin Solo: Lindsey Stirling]
[Chorus: Amy Lee]
High or Low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you
But I never forgot
My Heart Is Broken Lyrics
[Intro]
I will wander 'til the end of time
Torn away from you
[Verse 1]
I pulled away to face the pain
I close my eyes and drift away
Over the fear
[Pre-Chorus]
That I will never find a way
To heal my soul
And I will wander 'til the end of time
Torn away from you
[Chorus]
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us
From sorrow's hold
[Post-Chorus]
Over my heart
[Verse 2]
I can't go on living this way
But I can't go back the way I came
Chained to this fear
[Pre-Chorus]
That I will never find a way
To heal my soul
And I will wander 'til the end of time
Half alive without you
[Chorus]
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us
[Bridge]
Change
Open your eyes to the light
I denied it all so long
Oh, so long
Say goodbye
Goodbye
[Post-Bridge]
My heart is broken
Release me, I can't hold on
Deliver us
[Chorus]
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
Lacrymosa Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out on your own
Cold and alone again
Can this be what you really wanted
Baby?
[Chorus]
(Lacrimosa) Blame it on me
(Dies illa) Set your guilt free
(Lacrimosa) Nothing can
(Dona eis requiem) Hold you back now
[Verse 2]
Now that you're gone
Feel like myself again
Grieving the things I can't repair
And willing
[Chorus]
(Lacrimosa) To let you blame it on me
(Dies illa) And set your guilt free
(Lacrimosa) I don't want to
(Dona eis requiem) hold you back now, love
[Post-Chorus]
I can't change who I am
[Bridge]
Not this time, I won't lie
To keep you near me
And in this short life, there's no time
To waste on giving up, my love wasn't enough
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
(Lacrimosa) And you can blame it on me
(Dies illa) Just set your guilt free
(Lacrimosa) Honey, I don't want to
(Dona eis requiem) Hold you back now love
[Outro]
(Amen)
The End of the Dream Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
As much as it hurts
Aināt it wonderful to feel?
So go on and break your wings
Follow your heart 'til it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream
[Verse 2]
Iām not afraid
I pushed through the pain
And Iām on fire
I remember how to breathe again
[Chorus]
As much as it hurts
Aināt it wonderful to feel?
So go on and break your wings
Follow your heart 'til it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream
[Verse 3]
Why must we fall apart to understand how to fly?
I will find a way
Even without wings
Follow your heart
'Til it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream
[Outro]
Follow your heart
'Til it bleeds
And weāve come to the end of the dream
Bring Me to Life Lyrics
[Verse 1: Amy Lee]
How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul (Oh)
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
[Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
[Verse 2: Amy Lee]
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me (No)
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring (Bring) me (Me) to life
[Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
[Post-Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
Bring me to life
I've been livin' a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life
[Bridge: Amy Lee]
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
[Verse 3: Paul McCoy & Amy Lee]
All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
[Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
[Post-Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
Bring me to life
I've been livin' a lie (Bring me to life)
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life
Unraveling (interlude) Lyrics
[x2]
Oh, paper flowers [x2]
Imaginary Lyrics
[Intro]
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Paper flowers
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Paper flowers
[Verse 1]
I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name
Let me stay where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops, as theyāre falling, tell a story
[Chorus]
In my field of paper flowers (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
And candy clouds of lullaby (Paper flowers)
I lie inside myself for hours (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
And watch my purple sky fly over me (Paper flowers)
[Verse 2]
Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos, your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape
[Chorus]
In my field of paper flowers (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
And candy clouds of lullaby (Paper flowers)
I lie inside myself for hours (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
And watch my purple sky fly over me (Paper flowers)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of Imaginary light
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
In my field of paper flowers (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
And candy clouds of lullaby (Paper flowers)
I lie inside myself for hours (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
And watch my purple sky fly over me (Paper flowers)
[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Paper flowers
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Paper flowers
Secret Door Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Turn out the lights
Feed the fire
'Til my soul breaks free
My heart is high
As the waves above me
[Verse 2]
Don't need to understand
Too lost to lose
Don't fight my tears
'Cause they feel so good
[Chorus]
And I, I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back
Through the same secret door
[Verse 3]
Look past the end
It's a dream
As it's always been
All life lives on
If we've ever loved it
[Chorus]
And I, I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back
Through the same secret door
[Chorus]
I, I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back
Through the same secret door
Lithium Lyrics
[Chorus]
Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside
Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without
Lithium, I wanna stay in love with my sorrow
Oh, but God, I wanna let it go
[Verse 1]
Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show
Never wanted it to be so cold
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hold on to me
Wonder what's wrong with me
[Chorus]
Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside
Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without
Lithium, I wanna stay in love with my sorrow
Ah
[Bridge]
Don't wanna let it lay me down this time
Drown my will to fly
Here in the darkness, I know myself
Can't break free until I let it go
Let me go
[Verse 2]
Darling, I forgive you after all
Anything is better than to be alone (Alone)
And in the end I guess I had to fall
Always find my place among the ashes
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hold on to me
Wonder what's wrong with me
[Chorus]
Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside
Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without
Lithium, stay in love with you
Ah, I'm gonna let it go
Lost in Paradise Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
All the promises I made
Just to let you down
You believed in me
But I'm broken
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
As much as I'd like
The past not to exist
It still does
And as much as I'd like
To feel like I belong here
I'm just as scared as you
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Run away
Run away
One day we won't feel
This pain anymore
Take it all away
Shadows of you
'Cause they won't let me go
[Chorus]
'Til 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 and lost in paradise
Your Star Lyrics
[Amy] has ever writtenā. The song was written in the hotel room in Portugal when Amy was feeling ājet-lagged, weird and tired.ā
Duringā¦ Read MoreĀ [Verse 1]
I can't see your star
I can't see your star
Though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today
I can't see your star
The mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away
[Chorus]
And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out
[Verse 2]
I can't see your star
I can't see your star
How can the darkness feel so wrong?
[Chorus]
And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out
[Bridge]
So far away
It's growing colder without your love
Why can't you feel me calling your name?
Can't break the silence
It's breaking me
All my fears turn to rage
[Chorus]
And I'm alone now, me
And all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out
[Outro]
And nothing worth fighting for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out
My Immortal Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
[Pre-Chorus]
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
And there's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus]
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
[Verse 2]
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
And now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face, it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice, it chased away all the sanity in me
[Pre-Chorus]
And these wounds won't seem to heal
And this pain is just too real
And there's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus]
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
[Bridge]
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
[Chorus]
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, ah
[Outro]
Me, ah
Me, ah
Imperfection Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The more you try to fight it
The more you try to hide it
The more infected, rejected, you feel alone inside it
You know you can't deny it
The world's a little more fucked up every day
I'm gonna save you from it
Together we'll outrun it
Just don't give into the fear
So many things I would'
Ve told you If I knew that I was never gonna see you again
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna lift you up into the light that you deserve
I wanna take your pain into myself so you won't hurt
[Chorus]
Don't you dare surrender
Don't leave me here without you
'Cause I could never
Replace your perfect imperfection
[Verse 2]
The way you look us over
Your counterfeit composure
Pushing again and again and sinking lower and lower
The world is on our shoulders
Do you really know the weight of the words you say?
You want a little of it
You just can't let go of it
You've got an ego to feed
Too late to rise above it
Don't look now but the little girl's got a grenade
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm gonna lift you up into the light that you deserve
I'm gonna take you down to the real world so you can watch it burn
[Chorus]
Don't you dare surrender
Don't leave me here without you
'Cause I could never
Replace your perfect imperfection
[Bridge]
We stand undefined
Can't be drawn with a straight line
This will not be our ending
We are alive, we are alive
[Chorus]
Don't you dare surrender
Don't leave me here without you
'Cause I could never
Replace your perfect imperfection
[Outro]
Don't you dare surrender
I'm still right beside you
And I could never
Replace your perfect imperfection
