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...

this song is so pretty. but i don't think it's a dommed relationship gone to hell. it just doesn't sound like a boy-girlfriend relationship. it's like some event happened and she wants to forget all about it in a struggle to let go of a painful memory.

I love this song.
It is very sad, but i think we need sad songs sometimes to get stuff out of our systems. It is not morbid or anything like that, just a basic human need to want to cry now and again! That is what i think, anyway!

This song still sends shivers up my spine. Even though I must have heard it thousands of times... it's comforting to know when you feel really down, someone has also felt as low as you, not for the same reasons but people have been there before and got through. For anyone who hates 'goths' or 'goth poser shit'... well don't waste your time commenting on them then! Personally, this song is amazing. If you can't see the beauty in it, then suffer a mental health disorder... then see if you can relate to it. Oh, and by the way I'm not mentally retarded because my boyfriend left me after we had sex for the first time when we were 14... IT'S INHERITED AND THERES NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO FOR ME EXCEPT PUMP DRUGS INTO MY BLOODSTREAM... So go fuck yourself before you mock this song!

For those of you who don*t know what this song is about...It*s about her mom & how her mom was always co-dependent, which means someone can*t go through life w/o someone to relyon/by your side. I*m not a big fan, but I like this song, Bring me to life, & Call me when your sober.

If there’s a more perfect melancholy, sounds-good-to-be-sad song than this one, then I’ve never heard it. It’s perfect! Amy Lee’s perfect! She’s way better than the rest of this band – like Tommy Lee to Motley Crue, or Flea to the Chili Peppers or Edward to Van Halen, too much talent wasted on less talented band mates. (Damn, I’ve just put together a super group – Amy on vocals and keyboards, Tommy on drums, Flea on bass and Eddie on guitar. Factor out that they’re 4 different sounds, and you’ve got the best band ever?)

This song is long and beautiful, full of meaning. But i just cant quite put my finger on it. Maybe she lost someone but she wants to forget about them, and their remembrance makes her remeness on how much she cared and protected him/her

This song seriously hits hard. It's deep. It's even made me cry sometimes listening to it. Actually, I think that it's about a close friend. She's helped him through tough times in his life, and just realized she likes him for more than a friend but he doesn't return the feelings. I'm just taking a wild guess right here, so correct me if you think I'm wrong.

this song was written by ben moddy and not by any lee btw

it suprises me that a lot of people dont see that this song is about death. looks kinda obvious to me but ok

its actually a pretty easy lyrics to see the meaning , its about coping with the dead of a loved him, who possibly commited suicide but that isnt really clear. but he or she died anyway and this about the coping with the loss. but the memory of the person won't fade so eventhough he's diead he we live on in her memory (my immortal)

very very good ballad but i look hello just a little better

This makes me think of a loved one that has died. Since we are all mortal creatures death is guaranteed and certain. Though the title My IMmortal says to me that as long as the narrator lives, so does the dead. As long as the memory stays it is alive.

It's about tainted love, being there for someone for so long but then you realise theyre sucking the life from you that you need them gone, but all at the same time your trapped by the thought of them the love you think you posess for them

In my humble opinion, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and the melody is very powerful as well.

To me, it is about a lost loved one that continues to "linger" and haunt the life of this person. Amy Lee's talent to sing, play the piano, and perform this song is just about as high and expression of human emotion through music as can be humanly achieved. I am looking forward to seeing her and evanescence in concert in October (06).

Yeah, Backstreet Boys my ass. SammaeL...you are probably one of those gay, unhappy little shits who dresses in black and has multiple piercings, as are most low-lifes that listen to this shit. You probably die your hair unusual colors and wear boots halfway up your legs. If anyone else fits this description, fuck you. No normal person-or any superior individual like me- looks at you assholes and thinks you are in the least bit attractive or worth anything. You all suck. Everyone should try a little bit harder to be like me.

First of all, Evanescence is horrible. Whoever said they dont just have to rock out to be good...they suck anyway. As do all goths and goth-posers which are all of you inferior little shits. This song is the most depressing song I have ever heard but not even in a way that touches you in any way. It is just bad. Amy Lee needs to die, not only to put her out of her own self-inflicted misery, but mine too after hearing this song. To everyone that went to this page because you actually like this song...listen to some good music. And by good I do not mean "music" that you could put on repeat and kill yourself to or that of which is made by assholes with makeup. This song is a total and complete waste of time. Anyone who has any genuine interest in genuine music please let your opinion be heard. Anyone who does not...please, for the sake of those of us that do, just shut the fuck up.

This song feels very close to me. It sums up everything I feel about losing the most important person in my life. She didn't die, she just changed and left me. "Although you're still with me, I've been alone all along." It has the same harsh realisation that I felt the first time I realised I'd lost my best friend. Brings me to tears within the first line everytime!

I love this song. I heard Call Me When You're Sober from their new album. Amy Lee has a beatiful voice.

it's could be about the death of their marriage. He doesn't love her anymore, but stays (for the kids?) but his presence haunts her and she's tortured by "the life he left behind". Maybe she knows he's now in love with someone else, and she's pissed and upset since she feels she was there for him for many, many years.

Maybe he had an affair ("these wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real, there's just too much that time cannot erase" but in any event she can't bring herself to leave HIM ("supressed by all my childhood fears") because she's scared of being alone... which she realizes she already IS, even though he's actually still there with her. She's mourning her empty marriage and wasted years....

very sad and haunting
