[Verse 1: Amy Lee]
How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
[Pre-Chorus: Amy Lee]
Without a soul (Oh)
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there
And lead it back home
[Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
[Verse 2: Amy Lee]
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me (No)
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring (Bring) me (Me) to life
[Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
[Post-Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
Bring me to life
I've been livin' a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life
[Bridge: Amy Lee]
Frozen inside (Frozen inside)
Without your touch (Without your love), without your love
Darling, only you (Only you)
Are the life among the dead
[Verse 3: Paul McCoy & Amy Lee]
All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here, there must be something more
Bring me to life
[Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
[Post-Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
Bring me to life
I've been livin' a lie (Bring me to life)
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life
