Lyrics for My Immortal as interpreted by cailin

My Immortal Lyrics
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all my childish fears
but if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
'cause your prescence 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
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's 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
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
i held your hand through all of these years
but you still have...all of me
all of me
all of me
all...

Evanescence rocks. Amy Lee's voice is incredible. I never would have expected this combo to work because all you hear in most had rock nowadays is distortion and screaming.It reminds me of my first relationship,I had a hard time getting over it. Also for those of you who (like me) enjoy Evanescence, Please dont encourage the flamers. If you dont answer your better than they are, Unfortunatley I must also say, do as I Say not as I do. Man On Tv. Your a dick without a soul, also I hope you enjoy masturbating bacause youll never get a wife acting like that. For a fan of Queen(another awesome band) you think youd be a little openminded? I mean its ok to like Freddy Mercury, the gay lead singer who died of complications with AIDS, but heaven forbid we be a teenage mother, or another of the unpopular crowed. Do the world a favor, never open your mouth again, or else ill be tempted to kick your teeth in.

man on tv, you're a fuckin' monster. How can you say something so heartless? You've obviously no idea what its like to lose someone close to you. It hurts. It hurts like you could never imagine, so fuck off you ignorant wretch. Your comment is obviously a reflection of your own life: pathetic, meaningless, and just down-right pitiful. Do the world a favor, and fuck off.

Now, as for the song. I really enjoy listening to my immortal. The music is so beautiful, and Amy's voice is so haunting and surreal. the first time i heard it, it was all i was listening to for like a week. Just a beautiful song.

why do people even like this stupid band, it's just something clear channel is trying to burn into every stupid teenagers mind until it's all they think about and they are raving idiots trying to keep "punk" alive. yeah dude, making punk music and singing with an operetic voice is really "cool". this bands music is the perfect soundtrack for having the hair ripped off you balls

I LOVE this song. I relate to it because it reminds me of me and someone I really really care a lot about. He doesn't care about me and he's always talking about wanting to leave, and I wish that he just would. I mean if you listen to that song.. you could pretty much just understand it all. It is a beautiful song and I love it!

It probably is about someone's death but to me at first it seemed to be talking about a breakup of an almost codependent relationship. She helps him through all his problems, but really he doesn't care about her and isn't as attached to her as she is to him. So all along she'd really been alone because those hours invested were all really just spent on him and had nothing to do with her or them together as a couple.

The song shows the pain of Amy Lee (or whoever she may be portraying) during a time of troubles. It seems as though she just left a loved one or a loved one left her and she still has deep feelings for them. I'll have to admit this is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard.

This song is most likely either about somebody dying and not being able to cope with it, and still feeling like they should be there, or about a broken up relationship. Either way, the song is beautiful in it's simplicity. Amy has an amazing voice. I'm not quite sure I like Evanescence's music, but you can't deny her voice is amazing.

Has anyone ever thought that this song could be about a person who used to have a strong faith in God and lost it and felt like God wasn't there anymore and like then realized that God wasn't the one that left... they were the one that left.... this would make sense since Evanescence used to be a "Christian" band... and in my opinion they still are because I'm a Christian and this music really relates to me and my faith... no matter what its labeled... just a thought...

i agree with several of the members who say that it's about the girl putting all her love into a guy and then he takes her for granted in the end. the part in the beginning when she says "if you have to leave/i wish that you would just leave/ cuz your presence still lingers here/and it won't leave me alone" i think that refers to the fact that even though he broke up with her, she still is reminded and haunted by him and her love for him...

This song means *everything* to me. I cry basically every time i hear it.The part

"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"

reminds me of both of my grandfathers,who both past away when me and my brother were small..This part reminds me soo much of them,i break right down...I love this song,it's beautiful

This reminds me of me and my best friend

We were great friensd and never fought for 4 years, tehn one day she started ignoring me, we worked that out, and then she kept picking fights over bullshit, so basically that "if you have to leave, i wish you would just leave" becasue im sick of always wondering when im gonna loose her

The chorus reminds me of all the years we've been through, and how she will always have all of me

Then the next verse reminds me of how she use to be the greastest person in teh world, and i just wish shed go back to being that person

And the last verse...i keep telling myself that shes not the her i was best friensd with, and shes still here, but Im all alone...shes not her anymore

Thats just how i perseve it.

This is an absolutely amazing song!! For anyone who has been searching through this whole thing to find the meaning and doesn't wanna spend half an hour trying to find it I suggest Evanescencechic4eva's meaning.

This is a beautifully touching song that can bring anyone to tears.
