General Information
Written by: A. Lee, T. Balsamo
The guitar part by Balsamo makes this song remarkable. The piano playing and the vocals by Amy remind us of Missing. When the 7-string guitar takes over, we are a bit reminded of Korn (of which Evanescence have covered Thoughtless on Anywhere But Home). The intro features a small clip from Tuna Afternoon.
Amy's description of the song: [1]
"The song is about some of my experiences as a teenager with close-mindedness. I thought the people around me seemed lost in a world that I really didn't belong in. It's kind of spiritual. We originally called the track 'Tuna Afternoon', because I made tuna noodle casserole that day. We still call the song 'Tuna Afternoon'. Sometimes it's hard to get past that working title."
The so-called "demo" version of this song that surfaced after the album's release later turned out to be a fan made remix.

Lyrics
You know you're not the only one
When they all come crashing down in midflight
You know you're not the only one
When they're so alone
they find a back door out of life
You know you're not the only one
We're all grieving
Lost and bleeding
All our lives
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies
I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
So afraid to open your eyes, hypnotized
You know you're not the only one
Never understood this life
And you're right I don't deserve
But you know I'm not the only one
We're all grieving
Lost and bleeding
All our lives
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
But all your lies
I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
Don't look down
Don't look into the eyes of the world beneath you
Don't look down
You'll fall down
You'll become their sacrifice
Right or wrong
Can't hold on to the fear
that I'm lost without you
If I can't feel, I'm not mine
I'm not real
All our lives
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
But all your lies
I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
