Evanescence

Can you forgive me again?

I don't know what I said

But I didn't mean to hurt you

I heard the words come out

I felt like I would die

It hurts so much to hurt you.

In my field of paper flowers

And candy clouds of lullaby

I lie inside myself for hours

And watch my purple sky fly over me

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?

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?

Let me stay

Where the wind will whisper to me

Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story.

How could I have burned paradise?

How could I — you were never mine.

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

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’ve held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me

Save me from the nothing I've become.

Now that I know what I’m without,

You can’t just leave me.

Breathe into me and make me real,

Bring me to life.
