Lost In Paradise is the seventh track on Evanescence (album).
Amy has said many times that she has a special connection with this song, as shown in this quote:
Amy: "That song is just really raw... that's a song that has no censorship, like I was in a place where I was like "yeah I don't know whats going to happen, and I can't save the day and act like everything is perfect"... the lyrics on that one kinda came fast and that's sorta what happens when you're not thinking so hard... I love it because its vulnerable and sometimes, i guess its hard to me to just totally get vulnerable, its like I always want to be strong... sometimes the hardest thing is not trying so hard."
Amy also had this to say about the song: "I'd say this is the most intimate song on the album. Really, it was from that kind of hard time in 2010 where I felt lost and sort of like I lost my vision for a second.
And it's cool because the song is sort of almost an apology to the fans, for being gone. It's like 'Here's how it went, I needed to run away'. But I miss this, and it's hard and it's painful sometimes and it's this big giant mess of things. But it's me and it's my heart and it's our relationship and... Yeah, I want it back."
Lyrics
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
All the promises I made
just to let you down
You believed in me but I’m broken
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
As much, as I’d like,
the past, not to exist
it still does
And as much, as I’d like,
to feel like I belong here
I’m just as, scared as, you
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
Run away, run away
One day we wont feel this pain anymore
Take it all away, shadows of you
'cause they wont let me go
So 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
