General Information

Written by: A. Lee and T. McCord

Written and performed by Amy Lee at the NMPA (National Music Publishers Association) meeting in New York after she received the 2008 Songwriter Icon Award by NMPA. It was also performed by Amy and Terry Balsamo at the 2009 Lyrics and Legends concert in Nashville.

According to EvanescenceVille[1], the song was described as being about love that cannot work.

However, Amy stated at the performance in Nashville that she has never sang the song before which raises questions whether this new song she performed was called "Your Love" or whether the one she sang at the NMPA was called "Your Love." [needs confirmation]

It was rumored that the song may be called "Wait Forever", but the Evanescence Website confirmed that "Your Love" is the correct name from a very reliable source:

We have been informed from a very reliable source that Amy DID PERFORM A NEW SONG at the Songwriter Icon Award.. The song is called YOUR LOVE and it's a song Amy recently wrote! What can we say.. WE ARE SO DAMN CURIOUS TO HEAR IT!!! Thanks again, you know who you are!!

The song is described by a member of Evanescencewebsite.com who attended the Legend and Lyrics as:

For Amy’s final song of the evening, it was a surprise and an honor to be privy to her new song, one that had not yet been performed for a public audience. From the first few notes and syllables uttered, Lee held the crowd, including Gavin DeGraw and Dwight Yoakam, in the palm of her hand. The piece, entitled Your Love, was described as being about love that cannot work. It took a few moments for the spell to wear off once the song was over. It is reported that "Your Love" is a working title for the song.

Amy has yet to comment on this song - whether it will be released in the future is, for now, unknown.

Lyrics

Were you talkin' 'bout places

Were you talkin' 'bout that star

I don't need you to waste this

Will I be here someday in your heart

Your love doesn't work with me

And now is the day you've always been here

And you never wanted to hear your fear

Everytime I know what I've just said

I will just come for you to pretend

Am I right here to stay with you

I'm just myself so be the one

She was loving you selfless too

Who will be the one whom you will choose

Your love doesn't work with me

And now is the day you've always been here

And you never wanted to hear your fear

Everytime I know what I've just said

I will just come for you to pretend

Someday I will be the one for you

The day of choosing will just come

Isn't it now that you'll be true

And I will know I'm only the sum

Now........

And now is the day you've always been here

And you never wanted to hear your fear

Everytime I know what I've just said

I will just come for you to pretend
