Like You Lyrics

Stay low
Soft, dark, and dreamless
Far beneath my nightmares and loneliness
I hate me
For breathing without you
I don't want to feel anymore for you

Grieving for you
I'm not grieving for you
Nothing real love can't undo
And though I may have lost my way
All paths lead straight to you

I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground like you

Halo
Blinding wall between us
Melt away and leave us alone again
The humming, haunted somewhere out there
I believe our love can see us through in death

I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground like you
There's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you
I'm coming for you

You're not alone
No matter what they told you, you're not alone
I'll be right beside you forevermore

I long to be like you, sis
Lie cold in the ground like you did
There's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you

And as we lay in silent bliss
I know you remember me

I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground like you
There's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you
I'm coming for you

Hah, at the risk of sounding insensitive, I love this song for the sheer creepiness of it (like the suicide references). I've lost very dearly loved ones before (and had those "long to be like you" moments), but I still can't cry when I hear this song. It's not a sad song for me. I mean, afterall, "all paths lead straight to you". We'll be together again one day... It almost makes me want to smile, "I'm not grieving for you, I'm coming for you."

This song was written about Amy's little sister.

Amy describes it as the "Hello" of this album.

I think by reading the lyrics, and keeping in mind who Amy was writing them for, it's very evident what their about. A kind of love and missing of remarkable streangths. It's powerful.

Yeah I don't know whether to just say what this song is about, but seeing as how Amy has told the press, I think it's ok. Basically when Amy was 6 her little sister died (at the age of three.) This song is written from the perspective of herself as a child, feeling the emotions she did when it happened. It's wierd sitting in the silence after you've listened to this song - it really is a very moving song.

That's true about this song. It's sad. It almost mad me cry. Her voice is so sad and dark.

So intense. I think it's less poetic but in a way more mature than Hello on fallen. The singing and melody is more mellow, thuse less powerful than on Hello, but the music itself and the vibe is a lot more complexed and interesting than Fallen.

i've heard soooo many evanescence song (every song) that this just feels like a remix of everything i've heard.

i agree, this is the "hello" of the album.

i've always liked how Evanescence combined major and minor chords. but in this album, they do it differently, so it sounds "mysterious" and somewhat like lacuna coil.

Funny, I got a Lacuna Coil impression from the album too. Not that it's a carbon copy in any sense, simply that Amy's incorporated a lot of the same elements LC use.

"I long to be like you lie cold in the ground like you" Oooh, a suicidal aspect.

As soon as I heard that song, I knew it was about her younger sister. I definitney felt it was another version of "Hello."

Where can i listen to it at? From the lyrics I would def. say it is related to "hello"

I listened to it. And i have to say this is one of the better ones. It makes sense that it is about her sister that died. I like the beat too
