Origin version of “Where Will You Go”, previously released on Evanescence EP in 1998.
This version uses electronic sound effects and has a quicker tempo, whereas the EP version is more of a confessional setting, with organs in the background.
[Verse 1]
You're too important for anyone
You play the role of all you long to be
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone
[Chorus]
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape
[Verse 2]
You think that I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone
[Chorus]
But where will you go (where will you go)
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
The truth
I realize you're afraid (I realize)
But you can't abandon everyone
You can't escape
You don't want to escape
[Verse 3]
I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone?
I can hear you in a whisper
But you can't even hear me screaming
[Chorus]
Where will you go (where will you go)
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
The truth
I realize you're afraid (I realize)
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape
You can't escape
You can't escape
You don't want to escape
