Lyrics

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind

Should I let you fall
Lose it all
So maybe you can remember yourself
Can't keep believing
We're only deceiving ourselves
And I'm sick of the lie
And you're too late

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind

Couldn't take the blame
Sick with shame
Must be exhausting to lose your own game
Selfishly hated
No wonder you're jaded
You can't play the victim this time
And you're too late

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind

You never call me when you're sober
You only want it cause it's over
It's over

How could I have burned paradise
How could I - you were never mine!

So don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
Don't lie to me
Just get your things
I've made up your mind

Translation from the French mag article, taken from ToD news thread. Credit for translation goes to julie:

The second track starts with some piano playing by Amy (the instrument which Amy used to write most songs), backed up with vocals that sound very “produced”. The use of samples already is noticeable as the chorus ends.
Amy: ‘It’s DJ Lethal, a mate of Terry’s, whom has done an enormous amount of work for the programming of this CD. I’m more than satisfied with his contribution to this album!’
The big guitar sound created by Terry and the arrangements brought by Johnny cause this track to be one of the heaviest songs on the album. The lyrics about a break-up are most likely related to Seether’s Shaun Morgan, Amy’s ex-boyfriend.

Rika :-)

So if this thread is unlocked now...

From various articles:
CMWYS is a regular-paced song. Was described as "gut-spilling". Has remnants of Evanescence's old goth sound, but with woman-scorned lyrics and a bluesy arrangement of strings and organ, it sounds more Fiona Apple than new metal. A very effective first single.

This blurb is actually from the ultimate-guitar.com article.

We've got to lock this thread for now. Thank you, but as nice as the 3.5 seconds was, we're gunning to hear the whole thing.

Plus, let me mention that if you're a new member as a precaution that you cannot share the full song on this board. Period. End of discussion.

Thank you and this thread will be locked.

Evanescence Want Your Call! Listen To Their New Single


Get ready for the return of Evanescence when they deliver us their eagerly-anticipated new single 'Call Me When You're Sober'. Making its debut on Australian radio on August 4, this heavy-hitting track will be the first single from their upcoming album 'The Open Door' and indicates an even richer, more intricate sound for the band. Check out Amy Lee's message and take your very first listen to the single here!
Evanescence die-hards should start getting pumped - the heavy-hitting rockers are about to deliver us their brand new single, 'Call Me When You're Sober', which will get its debut spin on Australian radio on August 4.

Dark, moody and powerful, packs a massive hard rock punch and Amy Lee's ever-stunning vocals take her reliably dark and emotional lyrics to new heights: "You never call me when you're sober, you only want it 'cause it's over."

'Call Me When You're Sober' will be the first single unleashed from the band's upcoming album, 'The Open Door', due for release on September 30 and Amy Lee recently said to Jam!Music that fans who reckon they know what the new LP from the multi-platinum selling rock outfit is going to sound like should think again...

"I think if people expect this album is going to be softer and more feminine and more wimpy, they're going to be surprised," Lee told JAM! Music. "It's not an album full of 'My Immortal'-like songs. Every song is completely different and I feel like at times it definitely goes heavier than we had the capacity to do before. But in a way that's still new and fun and unique and not trying to be like anything else that's out there."

While 'Call Me When You're Sober' doesn't hit radio next month, we've got a sneaky snippet of the track, plus a quick message from Amy herself, for you to check out. Take your very first listen right here...

I'm reopening this thread because I'd be interested in having someone translate what Amy said about the song, since that French DJ was talking extremely loudly over her..I could only catch the tail end.

guttershark

Translation:

A dj met Amy Lee at new-york city last week and asked her what does the title of the new single means and this is what she answered.

You don't understand what it means. It has to be taken at the proper sens!! It's about a rupture, this moment at the end of a relationship when you have to impose yourself, say no! I think we all know people, know friends who have a relation with someone who have problems of addiction. It can be really hard and at one moment you have to take a move back to realise that you can't solve everyone's problemes and that they have to cure by themselves.

thats it!
see ya haha
