[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/Outro]
'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

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.
