Taking Over Me
Evanescence · Fallen
You don't remember me, but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream i do...
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live to breathe
You're taking over me
Have you forgotten all i know
And all we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live to breathe
You're taking over me
I look in the mirror and see your face
If i look deep enough...
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live to breathe
You're taking over me
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live to breathe
You're taking over me
You're taking over me...
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream i do...
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live to breathe
You're taking over me
Have you forgotten all i know
And all we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live to breathe
You're taking over me
I look in the mirror and see your face
If i look deep enough...
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live to breathe
You're taking over me
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live to breathe
You're taking over me
You're taking over me...
