General Information
Written by: A. Lee, T. Balsamo, T. McCord, T. McLawhorn and W. Hunt
The 3rd track on Evanescence's self-titled album, its working title was "Purple."
"The Change" premiered live in Evanescence's show In Nashville on Wednesday 17th August.[1]
In a track-by-track interview with NME.com, Amy Lee talked about the song saying:
|
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.[2] |

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
