Amy Lee has spoken about her unhealthy relationship with former bandmate Ben Moody.
The Evanescence singer stayed with Moody for three years even though she gradually realised that their romance was damaging her chances of happiness as the negative aspects came to light in her song lyrics.
She told Spin magazine: "After I recorded those songs, I was listening to my own words on 'Going Under'. When it goes to the chorus, what I would have loved to hear myself sing is, 'I'm leaving and I'm not going to put up with this anymore'. But instead the line is, 'I'm going under, drowning in you'. I was thinking to myself, 'You know what you need to do, and you're not doing it'."
The star admitted that she was happy when her ex finally left the band they had formed together during their tour in 2003, and did not try to get him to stay.
"Ben is all about the drama. He's done a lot of irrational things, so you learn not to be surprised by anything. Ben was a really unhappy person. When you're miserable, you don't want anyone around you to be happy. So, with him gone, we felt like a weight had been lifted. I have pictures from that day. We all look giddy," Lee remarked.
