Well, ok. Besides the fact that I don't know why *anyone* would want to exploit such a painful experience as a death in the family - especially at a young age - it's been mentioned in an interview that Amy has(and/or will) included a song about her sister on each of her albums as a way of honoring her memory, to keep her memory alive.
And the fact the Like You is a little more literal and straightforward than Hello could lend itself to Amy's finally coming to terms with it. Perhaps shes found more peace with the death. Although this song definitely proves that there is still a lot of pain there, it just feels like Amy's grown and is expessing it differently than in Hello.
Just my opinion, I don't pretend to know for sure what Amy feels/thinks/does. Whatev. I give her tons of credit for this song.

This song is so beautiful, but it makes me cry. I just can't imagine losing a sister. I don't want to imagine it. This is one of my favorite songs by Evanescence, the emotion is so intense just like the song Hello on Fallen.
Overall this song is amazing.

I have one question about the song...in the beginning of the song it sounds like someone is whispering really softly it sounds like Amy could be saying...breathe, please breathe...is it just instruments...or is it her whispering really quietly. I'm thinking it's just how the song is and there's no whispering...but I'm not quite sure.

i knew right when I heard this song it was about her sister
it's a little obvious in some ways
I really like that she writes about that so much
before I heard this song I was a bit iffy on the album and this made me like it a lot more, I just like the feeling from it.. idk how to describe it!

I guess it's one of the songs that makes you think that all the bad things that happen to you might have a purpose and help you in the future!

While "Hello" is quite a resonating song, for some odd reason, I think this one takes the cake in being more haunting. It's so much more powerful to me and gets my emotions going more than the aformention has (not to say it hasn't at all, just not as much).

those are really strong lyrics and i know how Amy feels!!my mom miscarried both of my sisters
and it really hurt me when she lost them but i had evanescence's music too help me through it!!i think this song shows a lot more sympathy than Hello!!i mean don't get me wrong Hello's a good song but i like this one a bit better!!

I listened to this song over and over again while reflecting on 9/11. It made me think about all of those people who lost loved ones...they probably felt this way. And the fact that this song is sort of written from a child's perspective really cuts me to the core. Children grieiving is the most heartbreaking thing to wittness.

to me, this song seems as if that amy doesn't want to grieve for her sister anymore becuase it's taking over her but she cant help it becuase she misses her too much.

compared to "Hello" it's much more out there! she's saying what she thinks and feels. no metaphors. telling it straight and it's emotionally strong.

it's very sad! when i first read the lyrics, without listening to the music, i was shocked and nearly in tears! i feel for amy. i too wish i could change things for her i hope she knows that our support is here for her!

love you amy <3
