The Last Song I'm Wasting on You
General Information
In an interview, Amy said the song was written as a joke during The Open Door sessions. The song was written solely by Amy. In an interview with Spin Magazine she hinted that the song was dedicated to Ben Moody. [1] It features Amy's solo, un-layered, vocals with a very simple piano track. Some very experimental vocal work is heard throughout.
The song was released as a bonus track on iTunes when the album was released (the album had to be pre-ordered from the website) and soon spread around the Internet. The song was also released as a B-side on the Lithium Single.
Lyrics
Sparkling grey
Through my own veins
Any more than a whisper
Any sudden movement of my heart
And I know
I know I'll have to watch them pass away
Just get through this day
Give up your way
You could be anything
Give up my way
And lose myself
Not today
That's too much guilt to pay
Sickened in the sun
You dare tell me you love me
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die
Honey you know
You know I'd never hurt you that way
You're just so pretty in your pain
Give up my way
And I could be anything
I'll make my own way
Without your senseless
Hate
Hate
Hate
Hate
So run
Run
Run
And hate me
If it feels good
I can't hear your screams anymore
You lied to me
But I'm older now
And I'm not buying baby
Demanding my response
Don't bother breaking the door down
I found my way out
And you'll never hurt me again
