Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Breathe No More - B-Side Version. By Songfacts®.

This piano ballad is a very personal song for Evanescence lead singer Amy Lee, who wrote it on her own. She talked about the song during a meet and greet that made the rounds on Evanescence fan sites. "I was in a toxic relationship that was destroying me," she said. "The song is really about how sometimes when you're in a toxic relationship you change yourself for the other person, but you start to hate yourself for it. You look in the mirror and hate the person you've become. That self-loathing is one of the worst feelings in the world, because you just want the other person in the relationship to be happy but at the same time you don't want to lose yourself, the real you."

Evanescence recorded the song for their 2003 debut album, Fallen, but it didn't make the cut. It first appeared as a live version on their 2004 concert album Anywhere But Home, then in 2005 a studio version was used in the movie Elektra and appeared on the soundtrack. It also appears on the 2016 Evanescence compilation Lost Whispers.
