===Evanescence Version===
Hot summer streets 
And the pavements are burning 
I sit around 
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry 
Strange voices are saying 
What did they say? 
Things I can't understand 
It's too close for comfort 
This heat has got right out of hand 

It's a cruel, cruel summer 
Leaving me here on my own 
It's a cruel, cruel, cruel summer 
Now you're gone 
And you're not the only one 

The city is crowded 
My friends are away 
And I'm on my own 
It's too hot to handle 
So I got to get up and go 

Oh, it's a cruel, cruel summer 
Leaving me here on my own 
It's a cruel, cruel, cruel summer 
Now you're gone 
And you're not the only one 

It's a cruel, cruel, cruel summer 
Leaving me, leaving me here on my own 
It's a cruel, cruel, cruel summer 
Now you're gone 
And you're not the only one 
You're not the only one 

It's a cruel, cruel summer 
Leaving me here on my own 
It's a cruel, cruel, cruel summer 
Now you're gone 
And you're not the only one 

It's a cruel, cruel summer 
Now you're gone 
Leaving me here on my own 
It's a cruel, cruel, cruel summer 
Now you're gone 
And you're not the only one 
You're not the only one 
You're not the only one
