I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more (so much more)
I lay dying
And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
Am I too lost
To be saved?
Am I too lost?
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
Do you remember me?
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side?
Or will you forget me?
I'm dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost
To be saved?
Am I too lost?
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
(Return to me salvation)
(Ohhhhhh)
(I want to die)
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied?
Christ? (Christ)
Tourniquet
My suicide

*quote*I think that if someone is at the point where they are taking their own life, they must not be following Christ. Only a person who hates their life would commit suicide, and the Christian life is not empty like that.*quote*
I beg to differ. One can think they are following Christ and feel empty; ready to kill themselves until they discover the truth.

I love this song. I have said i want to kill myself but have never meant it. I've been extremely afraid of death, so i'm not at all suicidal. even so, I can understand this song. I have one friend who is severely suicidal (thank god he's still alive!). I think the song is so beautifully morbid. I was a cutter and it reminds me of what i've done, but i'm done with that s***. Evanescence makes darkness quite beautiful.

Amy Lee has confirmed this song's meaning, it's not got anything to do with God "saving us from ourselves". Here's what she had to say about the song:
"It's from the perspective of someone who has just committed suicide and it's about the controversy in Christianity that if you commit suicide, will you go to heaven or hell? If all sins are forgiven after accepting Christ, why would there be an exception?"

i love this song. i can sort of relate to it. one of my friends from elementary school committed suicide. he was always bullied and abused by his dad. i wanted to help him so bad, but i just never could, and finally realized that too late. he had already done it. but im ok. i dont want to die, or kill myself. i thought about it wen i found out about my friend, but his story gave me strength.
"If you come into this world knowing you are loved, and leave it knowing the same, then everything in between can be dealt with."

The Toruniquet mentioned in this song is about saving you from death. In other words if you are bleeding too seriously you apply a tournequet to stop it even if it means loosing a limb in the process. This song crys out to God to be our Tourniquet... Save us from ourselves!
Amy Lee may not be a Christian by proffession, but nobody knows what is really inside her, so don't be so quick to judge what you have no idea about. I ran from God for many years wanting to be able to kill myself. Fear of Hell itself always kept me from trying it. I live in the peace of Christ today, and for those that don't know him I beg you to ask him to come into your heart and rescue you from yourselves!

I lvo ethis song so much!
and for a comment to Someone-you-dont-know
Why did you try to commit suicide.
i lov ethis song because my uncle commited suicide..and was sucessfull...[rite before my parents wedding]
I've attempted it has recent has a week ago, I'm an active cutter, and am only 13 with an eating disorder(Bulnimia), living in a disfuntional family in the ghetto, without food for my brothers and me. This song keeps me strong, and I hope to be like her one day
man i love this song. . . | Reviewer: someone-u-don't-know | 1/1/09
one of the most powerful songs i've ever listened too.
i've attempted suicide a couple times. once was very close.
i still think about suicide even years later. . .sometimes on a daily basis.
but i'm so terrified of hell. i don't think i'll ever be able to do it.
this song just speaks to my very soul. everything about it i relate to.
my sister said she didn't like it, and didn't really get it.
i asked if she's ever given suicide enough thought to where she knew she wanted it.
she said no.
and that's why it doesn't make sense to her.
amazing song.
