Find a Way
Amy Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every breath's a gift, we don't know what tomorrow holds
But I know I need you, you show me the truth
And I will reach you somehow
I'll find a way
Build another world beyond the pain
I'll find a way to keep you safe
I can't hide tears I've cried
Nothing in this world will move me, I'm never gonna leave your side
I want to see your face and hide in your (wake?)
As long as you are with me
I'll find a way
Build another world beyond the pain
I'll find a way to keep you safe
Until the end, oh
Break the chains within your mind
Fighting blindly through the dark
I know you hear me, I would give my life
If it would save you from this
I'll find a way
Build another world beyond the pain
I'll find a way to keep you safe
Until the end of time

I love Amy's voice so much that I've had the open door CD in my car that I play everyday for the past 10 years while driving to work.... you get me through life. Just amazing acoustic performance.

I love Amy Lee. Her voice is so amazing. I walked down the isle on my wedding day to Love Exists. My friends and family all said they were teary eyed. It was the perfect song for our special day.
