Considered to be “the most intimate song” on Evanescence’s self-titled album, “Lost in Paradise” is a ballad that is very personal to Amy Lee.

[Verse 1]
I've been believing
In something so distant
As if I was human
And I've been denying
This feeling of hopelessness
In me, in me
[Pre-Chorus]
All the promises I made
Just to let you down
You believed in me
But I'm broken
[Chorus]

And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise
[Verse 2]
As much as I'd like
The past not to exist

And as much as I'd like
To feel like I belong here
I'm just as scared as you
[Chorus]

And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise
[Bridge]
Run away
Run away
One day we won't feel
This pain anymore
Take it all away
Shadows of you
'Cause they won't let me go
[Chorus]
'Til I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise
Alone and lost in paradise
