[Verse 1]
How many times have you told me you love her
As many times as I've wanted to tell you the truth
How long have I stood here beside you
I live through you
You looked through me

[Chorus]
Ooh, Solitude
Still with me is only you
Ooh, Solitude
I can't stay away from you

[Verse 2]
How many times have I done this to myself
How long will it take before I see
When will this hole in my heart be mended
Who now is left alone but me

[Chorus]
Ooh, Solitude
Forever me and forever you
Ooh, Solitude
Only you, only true

[Verse 3]
Everyone leaves me stranded
Forgotten, abandoned, left behind
I can't stay here another night
Your secret admirer
Who could it be
Ooh, Can't you see
All along it was me
How can you be so blind
As to see right through me

[Chorus]
And Ooh, Solitude
Still with me is only you
Ooh, Solitude
I can't stay away from you

[Outro]
Ooh, Solitude
Forever me and forever you
Ooh, Solitude
Only you, only true

Evanescence is an American rock band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. Evanescence was originally promoted in Christian stores. Later, the band made it clear they did not want to be considered part of the Christian rock genre, like fellow Wind-up Records artists Creed. Some of their most popular hits “Bring Me to Life,” “My Immortal,” and “What You Want.”

In 2014, the band parted ways with their long-term record label Wind-Up and became independent artists. In late 2016, they released a Ultimate Collection box set featuring all their albums along with the 2000 demo album Origin and a B-sides compilation Lost Whispers.

In November 2017, they released their fourth album, Synthesis, featuring a reimagining of some of their past songs plus two new original songs with the spotlight on full orchestra and electronics.
