[Verse 1]
If you want to live, let live
If you want to go, let go
I'm not afraid to dream, to sleep, sleep forever
I don't need to touch the sky
I just want to feel that high
And you refuse to lift me

[Pre-Chorus]
Guess it wasn't real after all
Guess it wasn't real all along

[Chorus 1]
If I fall and all is lost
It's where I belong

[Verse 2]
If you want to live, let live
If you want to go, let go
I'm never gonna be your sweet, sweet surrender

[Pre-Chorus]
Guess it wasn't real after all
Guess it wasn't real all along

[Chorus 2]
If I fall and all is lost
No light to lead the way
(Never thought that it would end up this way)
Remember that all alone is where I belong

[Bridge]
In a dream
Will you give your love to me?
Beg my broken heart to beat
Save my life, change my mind

[Chorus 2]
If I fall and all is lost
No light to lead the way
(Never thought that it would end up this way)
Remember that all alone is where I belong

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.
