Call Me When You're Sober Lyrics - Evanescence
Review The Song (31)
Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.
Should I let you fall?
Lose it all?
So maybe you can remember yourself.
Can't keep believing,
We're only deceiving ourselves .
And I'm sick of the lie,
And you're too late.
Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.
Couldn't take the blame.
Sick with shame.
Must be exhausting to lose your own game.
Selfishly hated,
No wonder you're jaded.
You can't play the victim this time,
And you're too late.
Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.
You never call me when you're sober.
You only want it cause it's over,
It's over.
How could I have burned paradise?
How could I - you were never mine.
So don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
Don't lie to me,
Just get your things.
I've made up your mind.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.
Should I let you fall?
Lose it all?
So maybe you can remember yourself.
Can't keep believing,
We're only deceiving ourselves .
And I'm sick of the lie,
And you're too late.
Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.
Couldn't take the blame.
Sick with shame.
Must be exhausting to lose your own game.
Selfishly hated,
No wonder you're jaded.
You can't play the victim this time,
And you're too late.
Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.
You never call me when you're sober.
You only want it cause it's over,
It's over.
How could I have burned paradise?
How could I - you were never mine.
So don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
Don't lie to me,
Just get your things.
I've made up your mind.

Kick ass song and band. | Reviewer: Sabrina | 2/6/12
I love this song so much. I feel like it speaks to people like myself and many others who have experienced hard relationships with people who have addiction problems.
I dated an alcoholic who I loved and still love today and he used to pick fights with me when he was drunk and not remember it the next day, drink every night, and turn into a violent stranger every time he did so. When he was sober though, he was the most sweetest, wonderful man and my best friend. It was the hardest thing I could have ever gone through, especially with someone I love.
There's a lot to say about this song and Evanescence itself because the music is so deep. It's great.
ugh | Reviewer: me | 7/9/09
To Snickers: Stay Juicy?
Anyhoo..... This band is sooooo amazing! On her site she posted a post (go figure) saying to look for new music coming in 2010!!! Yay!!
This whole album is amazing. Strings and classical piano mixed with those driving guitars and her amazing rock voice... Whew!
I think this is the only song on the album that doesn't use those intricate piano or string progressions, but it is still one of the best songs on the CD. Can't wait for 2010!!!!! Woot woot!!
lawls | Reviewer: Drisana | 2/27/09
Yah umm.. i agree with the 2 ppl's comments underneath this one! and mina... ur wrong, she doesnt bitch about her problems in her songs, she is just showing her feelings with expressions and i wouldnt expect u to understand that. :D
life of mine/evanescence | Reviewer: anila | 10/29/08
I dont care what the ppl say..i live for the songs that evanescence portraits..life is what we make of it...if u dont like it dont listen..the music is awesome!!!so what if one life is based on these lyrics?! fuck i dont care if the world tells me am depressed..one thing that gets me going r u guys luv ya!!
Great song and meaning. | Reviewer: Joseph | 10/29/08
The title pretty says everything the song is about. And I don't agree with Mina that she is bitching. Obviously she was in a relationship with someone who had an addiction, and you probably have not been. So you wouldn't know the pain it puts on the people that have to see someone they love fall to addiction. Everything she says is so true, and its they same thing I was going through with someone very close to me. Anyways a VERY great song.
. . . . Uh, me don't think so : P | Reviewer: Mina | 7/16/08
YEAH.
Do not get me wrong. Evanescence is brilliant. They have done wonders. Call Me When You're Sober is no expection.
However ... this song just doesn't seem right. I know this song was about Amy Lee's relationship with Shaun Morgan, her then-boyfriend and frontman of Seether. Shaun checked into rehab for unknown reasons.
I always knew Amy Lee COULD use her talents for all things imaginable. Well, she did. She used her talents before to breathe meaning and heart into her intricate songs. She has now manifested her talents into a song where she bitches out about her ex-boyfriend who was, at the time, in rehab and weakened in the knees.
I am an Evanescence fan. So naturally I adore what is the essence of Evanescence. Sure, this is an awesome song. But this isn't Evanscence, not even Amy Lee.
WTF | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/2/08
Hailey!!! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!!! Your ears must be fucked up because her music and her voice is increadible, i wouldnt expect someone as mentally retarded as you to know that! Do us evanescence's fans and leave us alone :P Thank you very much.
~cloe~
Keep up the great work Evanescence | Reviewer: jasmine | 1/18/08
U GUYS ROCK!!!!!And u are very pretty Amy Lee my mom and i are your biggest fans i hope someday i am able to go to 1 of your concerts!!!!!
"Samantha" is retarded. | Reviewer: Hailey | 11/20/07
Your ears MUST be fucked up to not understand her. There is a thing called "The Internet" with things called "Lyrics" you can look up...
you obviously made use of these lyrics so why the fuck do you feel the need to complain?
Amy Lee is above "talented" as well as her band; I agree with you on that.
kk... | Reviewer: um...person i guess | 11/18/07
It's a good song and all but I'm tired of hearing ppl worshipping the guy in it. Also Amy is talented but everyone already knows that so you don't all have to post it!! LOL ppls!! And the wolves are awesome. Great song. Evanscence is great!
best video | Reviewer: snickers | 7/7/07
the video was out of this world those wolves were kick ass. i herd that you guys had some trouble withthem because they were getting restless or something and there were people going crazy outside or something. that sounds like fun. anyway love the song and i am happy that you wrote it to tell that man off and tell him to get some help i really hope he gets it. good luck man it wont be easy. everyone at evanescence i love you guys and you rock my socks off.stay juicy!!
