• Title: Bring Me To Life
• Album: The Open Door
• Year: 2006

Lyrics:

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
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

Chorus:
(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

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

Chorus

(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

Frozen inside without your touch without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

All of this sight 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

(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

• Title: My Immortal
• Album: Fallen (Retail)
• Year: 2003

Lyrics:

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

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
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
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
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

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

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though your still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]

• Title: Everybody's Fool
• Album: Fallen (Retail)
• Year: 2003

Lyrics:

Perfect by nature, icons of self-indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that...

Never was and never will be
Have you no shame, don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled.

Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder.
Oh, how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she...

Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
Somehow you've got everybody fooled.

Without the mask where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lie

I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore

Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
Somehow you've got everybody fooled.

Never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool.

• Title: Call Me When You're Sober
• Album: The Open Door
• Year: 2006

Lyrics:

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

Should I let you fall?
Lose it all?
So maybe you can remember yourself.
Can't keep believing,
We're only deceiving ourselves .
And I'm sick of the lie,
And you're too late.

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

Couldn't take the blame.
Sick with shame.
Must be exhausting to lose your own game.
Selfishly hated,
No wonder you're jaded.
You can't play the victim this time,
And you're too late.

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

You never call me when you're sober.
You only want it cause it's over,
It's over.

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

So don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
Don't lie to me,
Just get your things.
I've made up your mind.

Say my name and his in the same breath
I dare you to say they taste the same
Let the leaves fall off in the summer
And let December glow in flames

Brace myself and let go
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don't love you
They just love the hotel suites now

Refrain (x2) :
I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery

Oh take a chance
Let your body get a tolerance,
I'm not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette
Palms up, I'm trading 'em (trading 'em)

I'm the oracle in my chest
Let the guitar scream like a fascist
Sweat it out, shut your mouth
Free love on the streets
But in the alley and I ain't that cheap, now

Refrain (x3)

Said-a, I don't care just a-what you think
As long as it's about me
You said-a I don't care just what you think,
As long as it's about me
You said-a I don't care (I don't care)
You said I don't care (I don't care)
Said I don't care,
I don't care
I don't care (I don't care)
I said-a
I don't care

Refrain (x2)
