Where Will You Go - Origin Version

You’re too important for anyone
There’s something wrong with everything you see **
But I, I know who you really are
You’re the one who cries when you’re alone

[CHORUS:]
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can’t escape
You can’t escape

You think that I can’t see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You’re left to face yourself alone

[Chorus]

I realize you’re afraid
But you can’t abandon everyone
You can’t escape
You don’t want to escape

I’m so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can’t live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper
But you can’t even hear me screaming

[Chorus]

I realize you’re afraid
But you can’t reject the whole world
You can’t escape
You won’t escape
You can’t escape
You don’t want to escape

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

Where Will You Go - Evanescence EP version
This version starts with and organ/synth and gradually entering drum beat.

You're too important for anyone
There's something wrong with everything you see
But I - I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone

Where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You don't want to escape

However did you manage to push away
From every living thing you've come across
So afraid that anyone will hate you
You pretend you hate them first

Where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't refrain from everything
You can't escape
You can't escape

I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone?
I can hear you when you whisper, but you can't even hear me screaming

And where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape
You won't escape
You can't escape
You don't want to escape

Lyrics by: A. Lee, B. Moody, D. Hodges

I honestly think it's "You play the role of all you long to be" or "You play the role of all you want to be". It sounds NOTHING like "Theres something wrong with everything you see." that just doesnt sound like it at all. I dunno about the slower version though, Because I only like the faster one (it's my favorite song practically).

The Origin version has 'Theres something wrong with everything you see' and the Evanescence EP version has 'You play the role of all you long to be' in it.

hmm, I've found a third version of this song that seems to be a cross between the first 2 mentioned:

Click to hear.

You’re too important for anyone
You play the role of all you long to be
But I, I know who you really are
You’re the one who cries when you’re alone

But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can’t escape
You can’t escape

You think that I can’t see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You’re left to face yourself alone

But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can’t escape the truth

I realize you’re afraid
But you can’t abandon everyone
You can’t escape
You don’t want to escape

I’m so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can’t live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper
But you can’t even hear me screaming

But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can’t escape the truth

I realize you’re afraid
But you can’t reject the whole world
You can’t escape
You won’t escape
You can’t escape
You don’t want to escape

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

That's the Origin version of WWYG, if I'm not mistaken.

james354 · 01-28-2006, 10:26 AM

ya "you play the role of all you long to be" is from the origin version and "theres something wrong with everything you see" is from the ep version.

It's Origin Version

SinPensado1073 · 01-30-2006, 12:39 AM

i own a copy of origin, and the lyrics in the insert say "there's something wrong with everything you see"

the song itself sounds like she's saying "you play the role of all you long to be"

so i don't know. i hope i somewhat helped at least...

I see people still have doubts about the lyrics of WWYG.

Evanescence EP Version:
You’re too important for anyone
There's something wrong with everything you see

Origin Version (what you can hear):
You’re too important for anyone
You play the role of all you long to be

But on the Origin CD cover it says:
You’re too important for anyone
There's something wrong with everything you see

It could be just a mistake or something.
