I can't clearly understand what Amy says in the end of the song. It sound like "Because I'll die if you do", "Because I'm tired of it too" and so on. And no one can tell me the right words. And on different sites I see different lyrics versions. But which version is right?..

IT's not Amy saying it. It's a recording from a movie. And the proper lyrics to that section are

"Please don't hate me
Because I'll die if you do
Because I'll Die if you do
..." And so on.

You could be getting confused with the 11:38 version of Ascension of the Spirit. (Only a bunch of silence, a movie clip, and a 3:16 long instrumental)

I must have listened to this song a million times...and I have never noticed that.

*plays song again*....now I'm gonna pay attention.

The 11 minute version of Ascension of the Spirit varies in length. Sometimes it's 11:38, other's it's 11:48. I've heard the version many times and am not confusing anything with it. I'd explaining to someone that the listing on the bootleg is wrong. They likely heard Ascension of the Spirit had a long version and listed it as Eternal.

oh... I always thought that it said "Because I'm dying too" ... is extremely confused now!!!

I thought that too when I first heard the song. But someone pointed out the "Please Don't Hate me" part. And the "Because I'll Die If You Do" Just fits so much better and Actually makes Sense.

The first song ever written by Ben Moody and credited as the second song ever written by Evanescence. The audio clips in the song come from the movies My World Dies Screaming, otherwise known as Terror in the Haunted House (1958) and When a Man Loves A Woman (1994). Ben Moody often refers to it as a “Cheesy 7-minute Goth anthem”.

--
Understanding - Evanescence EP version
Items in italics are spoken quotes from 'My World Dies Screaming' (1958, aka 'Terror in the Haunted House') except the line "We're supposed to try... that is real" and "Please don't hate me.. because I'll die if you do" which are from 'When A Man Loves A Woman', (1994, starring Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia).

You hold the answer deep within your own mind. Consciously you've forgotten it. That's the way the human mind works. Whenever something is too unpleasant, too shameful for us to entertain we reject it, we erase it from our memory, but the imprint is always there.

Oooh..
We wash it all away, we wish it all away, we hope it all away, can't cry it all away.

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth that finds a way for who we are

Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence screaming at our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time

We're supposed to try and be real and when you feel alone, you are not together, and that is real.

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The light that flows inside of you burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this and I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot bear it all alone

You're not alone, honey, Never. Never.

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away, no...

Oooh.. can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away, yeah, yeah yeah.
Can't throw it all away
Can't scratch it all away, yeah....

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
Move it all away
Move it all away

But the imprint is always there, nothing is ever really forgotten

Please don't hate me
Because I'll die if you do
Because I'll die if you do
Because I'll die if you do
Because I'll die if you do
Because I'll die if you do

******************************************

Understanding - Sound Asleep EP Version
This version starts and predominates with a highly-reverbed guitar.

You hold the answer <- Ben [Edit <3 Lauren]

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth that finds a way for who we are

Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence screaming at our hearts
My love for you still grows
And this I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The light that flows inside of you burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this and I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot bear it all alone

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away

I tried so hard

Lyrics by: A. Lee, B. Moody

After Amy sings "I've tried so hard," you can hear Ben saying, which is highly reverberated, and echoed is:

"I have tried super, so hard to be without you, to be without you for so many years."

Then you hear Amy start to sing "I have cried." And Ben starts to say, as soon as Amy starts singing:

"So many words I have saved for someone, I love you. I love you and I want you to stay."

EDIT: July 1, 2006

Actually at the end of the version with the organ, Meg Ryan, who plays Alice in "When A Man Loves A Woman," say's

"God, JUST don't hate me
Because I'll die if you do."

And then Andy Garcia, who plays Michael, says "That thought would never cross my mind." Or somewhere along those lines. This can be heard in the movie starting at 37:17. You can put your sudtitles on for that part to see that this is correct.

Does that mean the lines at the beginning come from When A Man Loves A Woman also? I've always imagined this song as a movie so it befaffles me to know that it actually is.

So anyways, to the person much, much above. There are three versions, the two listed and the Acoustic version which i'm pretty sure (correct me if im wrong) was released officially.

do you mean the song? cause Im really confused by the question, if its the song then it must have a meaning, at least when it was being written they/he must have been thinking about something
