Rumors said this song is not originally of Evanescence. According to them, this song was originally for a band called So Close, however when that band died, Evanescence covered it and put it on their EP ([http://unquietvoid.proboards55.com/index.cgi?board=eps&action=display&thread=268 thread of The Fields of Innocence Board]). On Ben's BMI Repertorie, there is no song called So Close.

Lyrics

I've spent so much time
Throwing rocks at your window
But I never even knocked
On your front door

I walk by statues
Never even made one chip
But if I could leave a mark
On the monument of your heart
I just might lay myself down
For a little more hope than I had
The last day
The last day
The last day

Wait a time
To spare these lies we tell ourselves
These days have come and gone
But this time it's sweeter than honey
