Evanescence:

I've been believing in something so distant
As if I was human
And I've been denying this feeling of hopelessness
In me, in me

All the promises I made
Just to let you down
You believed in me, but I'm broken

I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting

We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise

As much as I'd like the past not to exist
It still does
And as much as I'd like to feel like I belong here
I'm just as scared as you

I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting

We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise

Run away, run away
One day we won't feel this pain anymore

Take it all away
Shadows of you
Cause they won't let me go

Until I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting

We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise

Alone, and lost in paradise

[LouM]

I think this is the best version of Lost In Paradise. It's just Amy and the piano. No one in the audience, no band mates. Just her singing with so much power (with great reverbs!). Stunning <3

[Britfan]

This woman has pulled me out of some of the darkest times. She is such a beautiful soul. I am so grateful for all she does and all of her talents.

[christinemanuelsson]

every time I listen to this song it feels like someone is grabbing my lungs and I can't breath, and I just cry. This... this is a masterpiece. A piece of art.

[EricChamplin]

The passion I feel in her voice (ESPECIALLY during the bridge) is something extremely rare to find in artists. This is simply beautiful.

[nos]

I swear.... every time I hear someone talk about the "talent" that today's top 40 artists have, I want to sit that person down and listen to Amy sing.  Her passion sucks you right in and her ability to play and sing are unmatched.

[brittanysmith]

When my life ends, I want this played at my funeral.

[jcaucis]

Amy Lee pours out her soul in her music like no one else. Be grateful we are alive during her time on Earth, sharing her art

[bethw]

2020 anyone? The rawness of her voice gets me everytime 😥😭🥰

[Soche]

3:34, that part is one of the greatest of all time. I keep having goosebumps even after so many years. :)

[jalysstiana]

I listened to Evanescence since 6th grade and people told me it was a phase....nahhh I knew for a fact that it was not a phase! <3<3<3

[tehmedulla]

I've been listening to EV since 03 I'm now 31. I still have a love affair with this band. Amy is an amazing singer. Chills.

[absoluteinfinity]

thats why Piano is the mother of instruments*

[chrisdooley]

Her voice still gives me chills. Love this song

[ashleyventham]

Holy shit. I know she can sing, but everytime I hear her I am awed.

[flavy]

Amy...her voice..and her piano...what else?

[cristallolavandaoceano]

I lost my best friend a month ago...she loved this song, and we both could relate to it...especially "run away, run away, one day we won't feel this pain anymore."  We both have/had severe PTSD.

[bradenneff]

And that everyone, is amy lee singing live. Let that sink in

[senjecko]

Every time I re-watch this, it not only gives me chills, but it also is such an emotional song to such perfection that connects with me on such a deep level. I'm sure that a lot of yall who listen to this have felt this way about this song. Especially the lines "One day we won't feel this pain anymore
  Take it all away
  Shadows of you
  'Cause they won't let me go.."
Those lines are so emotional and it just reverberates within me. This is part of why we have music. It's so inspiring. That's also why I love it and hope that when I perform my own emotional music for this first time, I hope that it comes over well enough that someone in the audience or whoever is watching/listening to it can feel that same way.

[DawnCaroleAnnHale]

One of the most beautiful song ever written

[jfhburr]

i love how Amy's singing to an empty it doesn't matter
