[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
So 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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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

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.
