"Hello" (Demo) - Evanescence

"Hello" by Evanescence Demo CD - Track 12 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 "The song was developed during the 2001-2002 demos and later released as track #9 on Fallen. The most personal song ever written and released by Amy Lee and this is the only Fallen song that has never been performed in a concert to date though the band considered doing it back in 2003 and 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.) This sister was later the inspiration for a second song, 'Like You'."
