You was a personal song of Amy Lee that she composed as a young teen. She intended it for a select few people in her life. The song was leaked some years later. The song is not listed on her registered repertoire on BMI.com. It was requested that fans not distribute the song as it was not meant to be publicly available.
In early 2003, Ben Moody described on the Original Exodus Evanescence Board the situation with this song and other leaked songs, and talked about their old executive producer Brad Caviness (of Bigwig Enterprises) leaking the song:
"Since Origin, he has taken the liberty of connecting himself with everything we've ever done. He even has gone to a studio that we recorded at (the owner of which was a friend of his) and made cd's of songs he was never supposed to have. One song in particular, was VERY private. He was FORBIDDEN to show it to anyone, since there was no way I could actually be sure I had every copy. COUNTLESS times people have commented on that song and how he showed it to them. When confronted, he just denies it or says that they heard it on accident or some bulls***. there's a very good chance some of you have it on your computer RIGHT NOW."
The Original Exodus Evanescence Board was a scrolling type board hosted by boards2go.com at the time this post was made (meaning old messages dropped off the bottom of the page and were not archived)."
Lyrics[]
The words have been drained from this pencil
Sweet words that I want to give you
And I can't sleep
I need to tell you
Goodnight
When we're together, I feel perfect
When I'm pulled away from you, I fall apart
All you say is sacred to me
Your eyes are so blue
I can't look away
As we lay in the stillness
You whisper to me
Amy, marry me
Promise you'll stay with me
Oh you don't have to ask me
You know you're all that I live for
You know I'd die just to hold you
Stay with you
Somehow I'll show you
That you are my night sky
I've always been right behind you
Now I'll always be right beside you
So many nights I cried myself to sleep
Now that you love me, I love myself
I never thought I would say this
I never thought there'd be
You
