As one of the last songs recorded for The Open Door, “Call Me When You’re Sober” was predominantly inspired by Amy Lee’s ex-boyfriend and Seether frontman, Shaun Morgan. In an MTV News interview, Amy Lee spoke about the song being very personal to her:
It was very brave for me, the lyric writing, b...
[Chorus]
Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind
[Verse 1]
Should I let you fall, lose it all?
So maybe you can remember yourself

And I'm sick of the lie
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're too late
[Chorus]
Don't cry to me

How could I
You were never mine
[Chorus]
So don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
Don't lie to me
Just get your things
I've made up your mind
