[Verse 1]
Out on your own
Cold and alone again
Can this be what you really wanted, baby?

[Chorus 1]
Blame it on me
Set your guilt free
Nothing can hold you back now

[Verse 2]
Now that you're gone
I feel like myself again
Grieving the things I can't repair and willing

[Chorus 2]
To let you blame it on me
And set your guilt free
I don't want to hold you back now love

[Bridge]
I can't change who I am
Not this time, I won't lie to keep you near me
And in this short life, there's no time to waste on giving up
My love wasn't enough

[Chorus 3]
And you can blame it on me
Just set your guilt free, honey
I don't want to hold you back now love

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.
