Evanescence - My Immortal Lyrics

I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

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

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me

  "My Immortal" is one of those songs that completely captures your heart. The lyrics and the melody combine perfectly. Evanescence and the songwriters have broken ground and established a style of music seperate from any other performer in the industry.

  If this was in the Twilight movie it would totally ruin the song. Twilight makes no sense...

  If this song is not on the Twilight saga's next movie "new Moon" it will be a crime!

  Haunting lyrics. Tonight I was told by my lost love that this song has spoken for him across the miles and years to my heart for many years. I am touched beyond my ability to speak. Thank you darling, yes, what we had was very special, I will never forget you. ~Allison

  I alwasy felt it was a song about lost love, but not the everyday run of the mill love, the kind you only have once in a lifetime.
