<br />
Written by: ''[[Amy Lee|A. Lee]]''<br />
<br />
Contrary to popular belief, Amy Lee did not write this song as a joke<ref>[http://youtube.com/watch?v=am_ixv6wO5A Read the EvThreads Post]</ref>. In an interview with Spin Magazine she hinted that the song was dedicated to [[Ben Moody]]. <ref>[http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/5844/file0120kc9ax1.jpg See a picture of the magazine]</ref> It features Amy's solo, un-layered, vocals with a very simple piano track. Some very experimental vocal work is heard throughout.<br />
<br />
The song was released as a bonus track on iTunes when [[The Open Door]] album was released (the album had to be pre-ordered from the website) and soon spread around the Internet. The song was also released as a B-side on the [[Lithium Single]].<br />
<br />
According to Amy, the real lyrics for the second line is "they're my own veins" and not any other variations of lyrics that some people used to believe to be the real lyrics.<ref>[http://www.evthreads.com/showthread.php?p=463764#post463764 See the post by SnowWhite (Amy) on Evthreads]</ref><br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
Sparkling grey<BR><br />
They're my own veins <BR><br />
<BR><br />
Any more than a whisper<BR><br />
Any sudden movement of my heart<BR><br />
And I know<BR><br />
I know I'll have to watch them pass away<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Just get through this day<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Give up your way<BR><br />
You could be anything<BR><br />
Give up my way <BR><br />
And lose myself<BR><BR><br />
Not today<BR><br />
That's too much guilt to pay<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Sickened in the sun<BR><br />
You dare tell me you love me<BR><br />
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die<BR><br />
Honey you know<BR><br />
You know I'd never hurt you that way<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You're just so pretty in your pain<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Give up my way<BR><br />
And I could be anything<BR><br />
I'll make my own way<BR><br />
Without your senseless<BR><br />
Hate<BR><br />
Hate<BR><br />
Hate<BR><br />
Hate<BR><br />
<BR><br />
So run<BR><br />
Run<BR><br />
Run<BR><br />
And hate me<BR><br />
If it feels good<BR><br />
I can't hear your screams anymore<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You lied to me<BR><br />
But I'm older now<BR><br />
And I'm not buying baby<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Demanding my response<BR><br />
Don't bother breaking the door down<BR><br />
I found my way out<BR><br />
<BR><br />
And you'll never hurt me again<BR><br />
