Both are kind of sort of lyrically similar so which do you prefer?
I have a love hate relationship with Say You Will, but I love Anything For You more

Anything For You is really catchy, while Say You Will is just sort of annoying.

I would have to respectfully disagree with both of you. The lyrics do not seem similar to me at all, though the tempo seems similar. They're both very upbeat and moving/jamming songs. Lyrically, AFY seems to be a "I'll do anything for you as long as we're together even if you don't like me and lie to me." and SYW seems to be "I like you so tell me what you want or leave me the f*ck alone and stop leading me on." Idk. Maybe, it's just me since Say You Will speaks to me on a more personal level than Anything For You. AFY seems a bit more sexual with it's tempo and the panting in the song, though. In my opinion, Say You Will isn't annoying and I think it's just as catchy as Anything For You. So I'm voting for Say You Will.

SYW is backed by confidence and knowledge of the fact that "there are other fish in the sea". "I don't want to be the one, crying over wasted time", "Tell me what you want from me, or leave me alone" Whereas, AFY is desperate, submissive, and even slave-like. I'd give anything to give me to you, "I'll believe all your lies, just pretend you love me" SYW isn't about begging to be loved in the way that AFY is. It's about wanting to know what the deal is. |

Yeah. Say You Will is more of a "to the point" song.  |

I don't really like Say You Will, however, Anything For You is easily in my top 5 Evanescence songs of all.
Personally, I think Anything For You hits more raw emotion lyrically.
Hahaha I just thought of this. I might get some heat from some of you - but considering "Call Me When Youre Sober", wouldn't it be kind of fitting is Shaun covered "Anything For You"? I mean, I guess they're kind of sister songs in the fact that one of them is saying; 'I'm sick of your lies and I'm leaving', meanwhile the other one says; 'I don't care about your lies, I'll do anything to stay with you.'

I'll go with SYW. The whole EV3 album wasn't really my thing when it came out except for some songs, but I've been listening to it since then and it seems like everytime I hear an EV3 song it sound so fresh, SYW is one of those songs that I really enjoy when it comes up on my cellphone's setlist.
I like AFY though, but like you guys said, I'm more into the "takes no bullshit" atittude that SYW has.
Would love to see Ev re-do AFY and a lot of those pre-Fallen songs.

Say You Will has one of the greatest middle 8's of any Ev song ever in my opinion.

I like both for different reasons...hard to choose, but I'll go with Anything for You. I agree with AA, I don't think they are lyrically close at all but they have a similar feel to them tempo-wise.

Say You Will is more polished in my opinion.
