General Information

Written by: A. Lee, B. Moody and D. Hodges

The song was developed during the 2001-2002 demos and later released as track #9 on Fallen. One of the most personal songs ever written and released by Amy Lee, and is the only Fallen song that has never been performed in a concert to date despite consideration batk in 2003 when it was first released. However, a theme from the song was used in the beginning of a few live shows in 2003 as the intro to the song Going Under. There is also a video of Amy singing it in her parents' house in 2004, which is the only recorded live version of the song.

The song is about one of Amy’s sisters, who passed away in 1987 at the age of three from an unidentified illness. (This sister's name is known, but is not provided out of respect)[1][dead article]

This sister was later the inspiration for a second song, Like You.

Lyrics

Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello

If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream

Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday

  2. This version was used as an intro in Rock Am Ring 2003. Actually, this version featured ONLY the cello solo of the bridge, mixed with a synthesizer sound on the background. The whole intro was a blend of parts by Hello, Imaginary, Tourniquet and Whisper.
