General Information
Written by: A. Lee, J. Majura, T. McCord, T. McLawhorn and W. Hunt
Part of Me is the eleventh track from Evanescence's fifth studio album, The Bitter Truth. Its working title was Pickle Mustard.[1][2]
The song details Amy's move from grief to re-embracing the magic of life. She explained the song in her Kerrang! cover story in March 2021:[3]
|
The more losses that we face, the more difficult it is to still have that abandon, to have that freedom and that childlike hope. And it's always a fight to come back to it and go, 'No, I'm not gonna let it go.' Just like in Part of Me, don't let that sweet dream die, I'm not gonna give up. That song is about that. I'm not gonna stay down. I'm still gonna have the belief in the magic. I really have to keep choosing that. It's hard, you have to talk about the struggle of that. I do for to be honest. It's always been a struggle. When you have a fresh loss, it's hard again and you kind of become fragile, standing in the doorway and like you're afraid to believe, you're afraid to get your heart broken again when you get hurt. |

Lyrics
Not on your life
Won't let it break me
Won't give up the fight
But on this last thread, I'm holding so tight
Feed my imaginings, don't let a sweet dream die
Not on your life
I'm not abandoning - I have survived
Somehow still standing through death and through time
I need your love back like a drug keeping me alive
Drowning in your blinding light
I will be more than my survival
Only scars on my heart
Even in dreams I hear you calling
Breaking the surface, I won't let go
You're part of me
Can't stop me now
Just clawed my way back from deep underground
No time for hatred, no holding back now
Set me on fire, I like it the way it burns
Hands on your heart
Who really thought we would make it this far?
What good could come from embracing thе dark?
We found each other through brokеnness and now look how strong we are
Drowning in your blinding light
I will be more than my survival
Only scars on my heart
Even in dreams I hear you calling
So I know it's still worth believing
It's not just a feeling
As long as I don't let it go
Don't let me go
I will be more than my survival
Only scars on my heart
Even in dreams I hear you calling
Breaking the surface, I won't let go
You're part of me now and always
