Evanescence - Missing
Year : 2004
Length : 4':17"
The first version of the song is part of the 2001–2002 Demos. It was later rerecorded for the album Fallen, though it was outtaken from the final copy, and released as a B-side on the 2003 "Bring Me to Life" Australian single. While both versions feature the same lyrics, the demo version has a slower tempo and does not have the final version's extra bridge segment nor its string arrangement.

Whispered:
Can you stop, please?
Can you stop the fire?
You cant stop the fire,
you wont say the words.
Please, Please
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 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?

Please, Please
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't 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 bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something.......
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 something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

Please, Please
