  • Do what you, what you want
    If you have a dream for better
    Do what you, what you want
    'Til you don't want it anymore (remember who you really are)

    Do what you, what you want
    Your world's closing in on you now (it isn't over)
    Stand and face the unknown (got to remember who you really are)
    Every heart in my hands like a pale reflection

    Hello, hello remember me?
    I'm everything you can't control
    Somewhere beyond the pain
    There must be a way to believe we can break through

    Do what you, what you want
    You don't have to lay your life down (is it over?)
    Do what you, what you want
    'Til you find what you're looking for (got to remember who you really are)

    But every hour slipping by screams that I have failed you
    Hello, hello remember me?
    I'm everything you can't control
    Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe

    Hello, hello remember me?
    I'm everything you can't control
    Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe

    There's still time, close your eyes
    Only love will guide you home
    Tear down the walls and free your soul
    'Til we crash we're forever spiraling down, down, down, down

    Hello, hello, it's only me
    Infecting everything you love
    Somewhere beyond the pain
    There must be a way to believe

    Hello, hello remember me?
    I'm everything you can't control
    Somewhere beyond the pain
    There must be a way to learn forgiveness

    Hello, hello remember me?
    I'm everything you can't control
    Somewhere beyond the pain
    There must be a way to believe we can break through

    Remember who you really are
    Do what you want, you want Writer/s: Amy Lee, Terry Balsamo, Timothy Todd Mccord
