Lyrics for Missing as interpreted by Happy_Bunny

Missing Lyrics
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"

You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

[CHORUS]
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
Breathe deep and cry out:
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"

[CHORUS]

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...

[CHORUS]

I think the first interpretaion presented by Drama Girl
was writen by someone wringing their hands
attempting to flatten feeling to compartmentalized pain cells

I've never felt this way at all, so I can't really relate to the song, but I still absolutely love it. (:

it seems a bit extreme though outward appearence show that the abandon refuses to show they care

It does sound like a kid feeling neglected by their parents... and maybe because of a drinking problem with one of their parents?
"And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one..."
and also,
"I know what you do to yourself"
make me think that.
Was this really written by Ben when he was 14? That's pretty damn good!

For me, it talks about a girl who is suffering from the effects of her partner going through an addiction e.g drugs.
She feels guilty for leaving him but knows she can't carry on putting so much of herself into their relationship because it's slowly destroying her to watch him fall from the sidelines and she can't do anything about it anymore.
"Barely conscious you'll say to no one, isn't something missing?" I think this part signifies how deeply he is involved, and how he's forgotten what she can do for him and what it means to have her by his side. All of the second paragraph shows how she wonders how it got so bad, how it came to this.
She talks about how she is the sacrifice for his actions, and she's hoping that one day he might suddenly remember how they used to be and how much of herself she really gave up just to make things work. She's hoping that maybe one day he'll realise what he let go of, but she can't continue being with him because it's too painful to see him how he is - so she's asking forgiveness for not being strong enough to help him through.

When I first listened to this song, that's what it said to me anyway. I'm in this situation myself, and I'm afraid that this person I care deeply about carries on like he is, I won't be able to save him from himself. And then I'll have to escape before he drags me down too. =/

I think this song can be used in a relationship or not. I think it is mainly about someonw who wants to be notice about some one. Maybe she gets hit but no one notices or cares. She thinks she is unworthy of anything. She thinks she is unimportan and insignificant. She thinks if she goes Missing it will take forever to know that she is not there or they will never notice. She wants to know if she is missing some one will miss her. If she bleeds, hurts, or die will anyone care. This song has so much emotion. I think it is one of their best songs.

Alrighty, So here's my opinion on this:
I feel like In this song Amy Lee is already dead. She's killing herself as shes singing this song.
"sacrifice"

ok for some reason my thing cut off.
but i feel like there is a lot of suicide references in the song.with words like: sarifice, sleep, wake, dream, bleed, all of that to me seems a bit suicidal.
also, "please please forgive me, i won't be home again" she's not going home again because she wont be in existence.

The song is talking about a girl who feels like no one loves her and pays any attention to her, so she runs away from her home and never comes back. She is wondering if they even notice she's missing and if they're missing her as she is absent from their presence. She feels that if she gets hurt, no one will care and that's why she ran away in the first place.

all the lyrics to this song apply perfectly to my life right now. a guy i've loved forever finally said he loved me, and then i never saw him again, it's been over a month.....so sad......

i agree with everyone who thinks this song is a relationship thing. lots of people can relate to this song. i can REALLY relate to this song. the one i love lives like a few hours away from me and we both liked each other a few months ago and we both knew that we could never have a relationship. after we told each other our feelings everything changed. he stopped talking to me about things that we always talked about. and he barely even talks to me anymore...i feel like he wouldn't care less if something bad happened to me and i died or something. i would give anything for him to love me the way i love him. i feel like i'm destined to roam the world alone forever....i really miss him, but he doesn't miss me....

this is such a sad song.

Its about her feeling so unloved and so forgotten by pretty much everyone that she knows that if she did just die then no one would care or even notice. She knows that even though she still wants to be with him that he will never even be there because it is really HIM that "wont be home again".
Its truly sad.

I say that this song is about a relationship in which a girl is inlove with a boy but he doesn't love her back. She has given up EVERYTHING, but he still doesn't love her back

but what did Amy mean by "You won't try for me, not now. " and "isnt something missing?"? and thats my opinion :)
and this is how i feel :(

i had always thought that this song was about a mother who had abandoned her kid for drugs and alcohol, and the kid has to pay for the parents mistake by having to grow up quickly and becomes depressed

I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up yet but the first time I heard this song I automatically thought of the song being written about an abortion from the perspective of the baby still in the womb and I've thought it was the darkest song Evanescence has ever written since.

i can totally relate to this song right now, im so in love with this girl, and i've shown her that i'd do anything for her, and i've given more of myself to her than anyone else in the world, she just doesn't seem to care how i feel, it's like im not even there, even worse is that she is flirting almost constantly with one of my best friends right in front of me and only hangs out with me to get to him, i've finally decided that even though it's gonna kill me, im just gonna leave her alone from now on and move on with my life

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
(someday she's gonna regret that she let me go, knowing that i would've done anything for her)

You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
(this is how i feel right now, i know that even though im torn to shreds right now, i know that she's just fine and doesn't care about me. after we had an argument a few days ago, all of my friends stopped talking to me like it was my fault she doesn't love me, im wondering now if they've noticed that something is missing, or if they're missing me at all)

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
(i sacrificed pretty much all of myself for her, i gave her my time and my heart, two things that i can never fully get back, i know that she'll never try to make things work between us, even though i'd literally die right now just to know that she ever loved me or even cared a little bit about me, i know now that she never did and her friendship was just a lie)

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
(this one is also pretty self explanatory, if i was to cut or kill myself, i know that she probably wouldn't even show up to my funeral if i died, and every night when i finally do sleep, she's always in my dreams, but i know that when i wake up, she was never there and never will be)

so Jessica, "please please forgive me, but i won't be home again" maybe someday you'll see that we were perfect for each other, but you were just too blind to see just how much i loved you

It seems that this song might be written about someone in a relationship realizing that the other person is there physically but not mentally/emotionally and is thinking that if they were to leave it wouldn't matter because the other person wouldn't notice at all and one day they would come to and ask into the darkness if someone is gone.

"And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something..."

she could bleed out and still receive no attention

this is the exact same way i feel about my ex
it's just about a guy who breaks up with her
and forgets about her
while she's got no one and she's all alone
it's made he depressed because she missing him but he doesn't miss, she would kill herself just to know if he still loves her, she misses him so much....
she just wants to be loved, don't we all?

i think this song is about a girl who loves a guys sooo much but he forgets her and takes her for granted and that hurts her so much , so she has to find the strength inside her to be able to leave him

From listening to this and reading the comments i'd have to say its probably about a person who feels unloved and unnoticed by her boyfriend or maybe her parents so she's thinking about leaving and she knows it wont Phase him or her parents... and she's wishing that he or her parents would wake up and realize that "isn't something missing"

I know that right now i feel like my "ex" doesn't care... lol im stuck in this almost mourning- wishing that he'd give me recognition... but i don't think it'll happen so im feeling as though i should just go missing.... But also knowing he won't care cause he forgot about me the day he broke up with me... unimportant... "Even though I'm the sacrifice, You won't try for me, not now. Though I'd die to know you love me, I'm all alone. Isn't someone missing me?" Meaning he/they dont care and wont notice if shes gone... she's saying she'd die to know how he/they feel. Wishing that he/they'd miss her.
Its how i feel in some ways about my "ex"...

I think this song is talking about how ppl use her and take advantage of her but if she were to kill her self or something along those lines no one would truly care hence "isint something missing" is more of a retorical quetion while she know that nobody cares.
"even though im the sacrifce" is just further more saying how ppl use her and dont thank her
