[Verse 1]
You don't remember me but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do

[Chorus]
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me

[Verse 2]
Have you forgotten all I know
And all we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then

[Chorus]
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me

[Verse 3]
I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over

[Chorus]
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me

[Chorus]
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me

[Outro]
Taking over me
You're taking over me
Taking over me
Taking over me

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.
