Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow
Oh, but God, I want to let it go
Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
Couldn't hide the emptiness you let it show
Never wanted it to be so cold
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me
I can't hold on to me
Wonder what's wrong with me
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow
Oh, don't want to let it lay me down this time
Drown my will to fly
Here in the darkness I know myself
Can't break free until I let it go
Let me go
Darling, I forgive you after all
Anything is better than to be alone
And in the end I guess I had to fall
Always find my place among the ashes
I can't hold on to me
Wonder what's wrong with me
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without
Lithium, I want to stay in love with you
Oh, I'm gonna let it go

vocal okay.. Amylee´s voice is very very strong. I could listen this once or twice and like it but after that her voice is getting awkward. It gives me a deadache.. oops I mean headache
But the lyrics.. I really do love them. the video could have been more dramatic.

vocal Although I've never taken Lithum, I have been on mood drugs and I can very much relate to the song...the inner struggle between having the sorrows which seem 'natural' and the person we become on the medication. Very powerful and emotionally evokative.

vocal I'm obsessed with this song. I've been trying to bribe my parents into buying the cd for me.
'Darling I forgive you after all. Anything is better than to be alone.' So true. I know the feeling. I love this song
ive just realised how good evanescence's new stuff actually is, the lyrics the vocals but i think terry is pushing the rest of the band to one side and letting himself do all the work

vocal I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!!!
When I bought the album this was the first song that made a big imperssion on me. I don't know exactly what is it about, but i have an idea: there are compounds of lithium (lithium carbonate, citrate) which are used as mood stabilizers. Principally, for mainc depression alias bipolar disorder. It is about highs and lows; the deep and depressive feeling and in other time the mania, euphoria.

vocal Lithium and Cloud Nine are my most favorite Evanescence songs. Evanescence is great and I think The Open Door is their best album.

vocal Lithium is as everybody nows a drug, a mood stabilizer. but this is not what Amy wrote song about (but the song is for any1 to interpret as they want, thats the beuiti of music ) she used Lithium as an metaphor for happiness. the thought was that happines was a drug the made her numb and unabel to see clear and write songs. a beautiful song anywhay you interpret but ohh so sad
