The 3rd track on Evanescence's self-titled album, [[Evanescence (album)]]. Amy said in an interview that by the beginning of the touring process, she was still used to refering to the song by its working title, "Purple" and it was a new thing to call it "The Change".

"The Change" premiered live in Evanescence's show In Nashville on Wednesday 17th August. <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJEvW52JGeE</ref>

In a track-by-track interview with NME.com, Amy Lee talked about the song saying<ref>http://www.nme.com/news/evanescence/59472</ref>:

{{quote|The song for a long time was called Purple so we're all still getting used to calling it The Change.
Yeah, uh, this song came together with the band when we were at pre-production, just really writing as a band.
We, this is a cool story, we lived in two appartments in Nashville when we were making the record for like 6 months, cause we were writing down there, and then recording and blah blah blah.
Tim and I were in one appartment, and Will and Troy and Terry were in the other appartment. And we wanted to work on some ideas both of us separately and then bring things to the table in the morning and try to write a new song. And I was like 'Let's take the same tuning guitar home' so that maybe if we both come up with some cool ideas it would work together who knows. At least we would be in the same key.
So we did, and Tim and I were working on something really cool and got this net thing going which is really the verse, and I came up with the chorus melody idea and stuff. And we came in the next day and the other guys had this very net guitar part. And weirdly enough that guitar part they were working on and the verse that we had that we were so into, totally worked together. And it's like these two contrasting net guitar parts that work together. I mean we tweaked them a little bit to make it work right but that's it. Cool happy accident there.}}

== Lyrics ==

Thought that I was strong 
I know the words I need to say 
Frozen in my place 
I let the moment slip away 
 
I’ve been screaming on the inside 
And I know you feel the pain 
Can you hear me? 
Can you hear me? 
 
Aah-oh-aah-oh-aah 
Aah-oh-aah-oh-aah 
 
Say it’s over, yes it’s over 
But I need you anyway 
Say you love me 
But it’s not enough 
 
Never meant to lie 
But I’m not the girl you think you know 
The more that I am with you 
The more that I am all alone 
 
I’ve been screaming on the inside 
And I know you feel the pain 
Can you hear me? 
Can you hear me? 
 
Aah-oh-aah-oh-aah 
Aah-oh-aah-oh-aah 
 
Say it’s over, yes it’s over 
But I need you anyway 
Say you love me 
But it’s not enough 
 
Not that I’m so different 
Not that I don’t see the dying light of what we used to be 
But how can I forgive you 
You changed 
And I'm a liar by your side 
I’m about to lose my mind 
 
Cause I’ve been screaming on the inside 
And I know you feel the pain 
Can you hear me? 
Can you hear me? 
Aah 
 
You’ve been dreaming if you’re thinking 
That I still belong to you 
And I’ve been dying 
'Cause I’m lying to myself 
 
Aah-oh-aah-oh-aah 
Aah-oh-aah-oh-aah 
 
Say it’s over, yes it’s over 
But I need you anyway 
Say you love me 
But it’s not enough

CatDemonNinja: /* I hve a question: */ new section

Changed "Some other song that [[You]] shouldn't listen to" to [[You]]. This is not some joke site and therefor stupid things like that should not be allowed. Think of the new evanescence who come here and get confused by that. - [[User:Never be good enough]]

== I hve a question: ==

Where did the picture come from? Cuz I can't find it anywhere else.
