The Last Song I'm Wasting On You Written by: Amy Lee
The Open Door, Outtake
A song that Amy mentioned in an interview, written during The Open Door sessions. Song written solely by Amy. Amy refuses to say who it's dedicated to. Song missed the cut on The Open Door. Amy said that the song was written as a joke in an interview.
Released as a bonus track on the digital download order of "The Open Door." You had to pre-order the album before street dates.
Some say this song was written for Ben.
The Last Song I’m Wasting On You: This song is a beautiful, touching, piano ballad.
Sparkling grey Then my own veins
0:09 - 0:16
Any more than a whisper Any sudden movement of my heart And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away Just get through this day
0:46 - 0:51
Give up your way you could be anything Give up my way and lose myself not today That's too much guilt to pay
1:23 - 1:27
Sickened in the sun You dare tell me you love me But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die Honey you know, you know I'd never hurt you that way You're just so pretty in your pain
2:06 - 2:10
Give up my way and I could be anything I'll make my own way Without your senseless hate... hate... hate... hate
3:00 - 3:04
So run, run, run And hate me if it feels good I can't hear your screams anymore
You lied to me But I'm older now And I'm not buying baby
Demanding my response Don't bother breaking the door down I found my way out And you'll never hurt me again
3:57 - 4:07[/color]

Shouldn't this thread be posted in the Everything Else sub-forum? I mean, it is a b-side and was not released on the physical copy of The Open Door. I realize that some people associate as being a bonus track on The Open Door because it was digitally released as such on iTunes. You don't have to listen to me though. I just feel like being a postwhore today. Amazing song, by the way. I remember the shivers it gave me when I first listened to it on the day it was leaked (September 29, 2006).

From what we know, supposedly, Amy Lee and Ben Moody were once romantically involved. In fact, for a short time, they were actually engaged. This probably led to the creation of the forbidden song that we are not supposed to talk about. Then, the relationship turned sour and inspired "Going Under." After Ben Moody completely left the band, "Sweet Sacrifice" and "The Last Song I'm Wasting On You" were written as a way for Amy to finally purge her bottled up emotions and move on with her life.
And, yes, the song is sad, but it becomes powerful towards the end.
