Amy Lee with her band Evanescence, keeps filling my house and my car CD player with music. First, at the hands of Miquel, and then, Laura, and it didn’t take me long to become a fan as well. Their entire CD is good, but they keep making these tearful, soulful, haunting songs like, ” My Immortal.” Then recently, as my daughter was playing a new DVD she got for Christmas, we were watching together, and while I was telling the children, “I want her hair”, suddenly a new song, “Missing” grabs my very heart.

If you get a chance to do more than read these lyrics, go get “Missing” the song.

Please, please forgive me
But I won’t be home again
Maybe someday you’ll look up
And barely conscious you’ll say to no one
Isn’t something missing

You won’t cry for my absence I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant
Am I so insignificant
Isn’t something missing
Isn’t someone missing me

Even though I’m the sacrificed
You won’t try for me, not now
Though I’d die to know you love me
I’m all alone
Isn’t someone missing me

Please, please forgive me
But I won’t be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
Isn’t something missing
Isn? someone missing me

Even though I’m the sacrifice
You won’t try for me, not now
Though I’d die to know you love me
I’m all alone
Isn’t someone missing me

And if I?l bleed I?l bleed
Knowing you don? care
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I?l wake with out you there
Isn? something missing
Isn? something missing

Even though I’m the sacrificed
You won’t try for me, not now
Though I’d die to know you love me
I’m all alone
Isn’t someone missing me
