Taking Over Me Lyrics
You don't remember me but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do
[Chorus]
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me
[Verse 2]
Have you forgotten all I know and all we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then
[Chorus]
I believe in you (I believe in you)
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me
[Bridge]
I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me
I believe in you (I believe in you)
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me
[Outro]
Taking over me
You're taking over me
Taking over me
Taking over me
About
Evanescence would never again scale the heights their debut record Fallen propelled them to. When you hear a track like “Taking Over Me,” an album cut, it’s clear how they sold 15 million copies of this record. Amy Lee’s incredible vocals are matched by a heavily produced and flawless guitar riff carrying the message of a person losing their sense of self in an unrequited relationship. It’s a track that easily could have been a single.
The song was secretly written about Amy Lee’s future husband, Josh Hartzler.

Amy Lee said:
Taking Over Me is about obsession. Like you’re obsessed with someone who you believe is the one for you. I don’t know. It’s about obsession.
