In the song Hello, here are the second verse's lyrics:

If I smile and don't believe
soon I know I'll wake from this dream
don't try to fix me I'm not broken
hello I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
don't cry

I underlined the part that's giving me trouble understanding. And also, who was she singing to?

Well, congrats! You are correct... the line is

Hello I am the lie living for you so you can hide

and the song's meaning is:

This song is about death from Amy's view as a child. When she was 6 years old, she was told at school that her sister was dead. It's about how she put on a happy face and pretended everything was going to be okay and that it would all go away, but in the end she was really only hiding the real her... as if she was living a lie. (Listen to the lyrics and you'll understand.)

Throughout the verses on the song "Missing," there is a looped background vocal of Amy whispering:

Can you stop the fire
Can you stand to fight her
You can't stop the fire
You won't say the words

2nd verse of My Immortal:

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face, it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice, it chased away all the sanity in me

1st verse of Tourniquet:

I tried to kill my pain but only brought more (so much more)
I lay dying and I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved? Am I too lost...

The meaning of Tourniquet is:

Amy says,"A lot of our songs are written in a way that you could take them to mean several different things. That one was written by our drummer Rocky (Gray), who was in a Christian death metal band before he joined us. He told me that it is coming from a Christian standpoint, but it's about suicide. It's from the perspective of someone who has just committed suicide and it's about the controversy in Christianity that if you commit suicide, will you go to heaven or hell? If all sins are forgiven after accepting Christ, why would there be an exception?"

While Amy is the one who sings this song, it was actually written by Ben when he was 15, and it is completely made-up. Amy says, "That's the difference between us. Ben tends to write like a storyteller, and it's not necessarily from any kind of personal experience. I can't bring myself to write about anything I don't understand completely. For me, writing is always about some specific thing that's happened, so sometimes I feel a little distanced singing the song, but I still love it." Anyway, "My Immortal" is about losing someone and the mixed emotions that their leaving has left behind. Amy wants to let go and move on, but she has far too many memories that haunt her. Whether it's the simple disintegration of a friendship or a death that has caused their departing is left up to you to decide.

sorry... i forgot you asked for the meaning... "can you forgive me again?" wink heart
