[Verse 1]
Hold on to me, love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was
"I love you and I'm not afraid"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?

[Chorus]
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light?
It ends here tonight

[Verse 2]
I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (Come find me)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I know you hear me
I can taste it in your tears

[Chorus]
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light?
It ends here tonight

[Bridge]
Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here
But still you wake and know the truth
No one's there
Say goodnight, don't be afraid
Calling me, calling me
As you fade to black

[Chorus]
(Say goodnight) Holding my last breath
(Don't be afraid) Safe inside myself
(Calling me, calling me) Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light?
It ends here tonight

[Chorus]
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light?
It ends here tonight

[Outro]
(Holding my last breath)

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.
