General Information

Written by: A. Lee, B. Moody, and D. Hodges

Developed during the 2001-2002 demos and later released as track #9 on Fallen. The most personal song ever written and released by Amy Lee and this is the only Fallen song that has never been performed live to date though the band considered doing it back in 2003.

The song is about one of Amy’s sisters, who passed away in 1987 at the age of three from an undisclosed illness. (This sister's name is known, but is not provided out of respect. See link for reason.) Blender

This sister was later the inspiration for a second song, Like You.

Subliminal Message

When played backwards, the part of the song "...I'm not sleeping, Hello, I'm still here..." very distinctly says "He hurts me all over. Hear me, it was not me." This is not intentional by the band, however it is the only phrase that can be heard when Evanescence's music is played in reverse. (To hear for yourself, click here to view a You're The Man Now Dog page with the phenomenon)

Lyrics

Playground school bell rings - again
Rain clouds come to play again

Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello, I'm your mind
Giving you someone to talk to
Hello

If I smile and don't - believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream

Don't try to fix me I'm not broken
Hello, I'm the lie
Living for you so you can hide
Don't cry

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello, I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday
