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...

when i first heard it, i though break-up song, but pretty sure now it's about death.. i can't stop listening to it, even though it makes me so sad.. does anyone else feel like that? it creeps me out, but i am absolutely in love with it at the same time. i agree with kellymac, makes you want to enjoy time with loved ones now, cause you never know when they'll be gone..

Well, it's really about a guy and a girl who are best friends and were secretly in love with each other but didn't act on it. One of them suddenly died, and the other was left with this incredible feeling of loneliness and regret because she never told him how much she loved him. Then, she feels that her friend's ghost is haunting her and she wants him to just leave her alone. . .but she doesn;t want to let him go at the same time. Very, very sad! Ben actually wrote it, not Amy. They explained this at a concert I went to recently. Oh and Micheal Dark, Ben and Amy are just good friends. . .always have been. . .As far as we know anyway.

This is one of the most touching song I've ever heard. Very downtrodden and straight to the heart ala "Forsaken" by VNV Nation. A definite keeper.

Disney is the "Happiest Place In The World" in all it's corporate false plasticity... this song is about Death. Funny how feelings seem to connect more so to the darker side of Life.

I love this song. The CD is awesome, Evanescence is awesome. Some of the songs, like My Immortal and Haunted creeped me out a bit when I 1st heard them. Now I love them!!

Definitely one of my favorite songs. I'm usually not into music like this, but I love this band. They're truly amazing, and I definitely don't think we'll see the end of Evanescence for a very long time.

thanx Evanescencechic4eva for the explanation, i could figure it it was between jus death hence the title and the line "i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone" but it also seemed like a badly ended relationship, but yeh its both. Its relevant to me, i can recognise...i love this song.

when i hear this song i always picture a mother singing it about her dying child, and the child has been sick for a long time and she knew he would die.
"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"
these lines just seem motherly to me, thats why i interpreted it the way i did.
"i've been alone all along" means to me that she's known that the child will die all his life or for a very long time, so she's had that haunting her time with him all along.

If some of you guys are listening to the version from "Origin" off of Kazaa or something, do yourself a HUGE favor and get the one from "Fallen" as well, it's remade. Lyrics and are all the same, just more instrumental stuff like violins in the back. The Origin version gave me goosebumps, the Fallen version gave me goosebumps, chills, and the single tear ;-)

Is it ok for a guy to love this song? Hope so, because I really do :-)

I love this song. I bought this cd the day it came out for "Bring me back to life" and I ended up loving the whole cd. my favorite verse in this song is "Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams your voice it chased away all the sanity in me" I would recommend this album to anyone.

This song is incredible...her voice is just amazing. I tried downloading a bunch of songs off KaZaA and Blubster but they are all looped or skip--so Im just going to go buy the cd i think. Anywho, great song!

I cant stop playing this song loud loud loud and with candles and totally losing myself in it. Its relevance to my life is taking my breath away, making me sad and relieving me at the same time. if you've ever loved a narcissist, you will relate to this song. Im addicted to the beauty, the pain of the song. Its so delicate, it makes me weep and introspective.
