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...

In October my happy well balanced 25 year old son developed paranoid delusional disorder & committed suicide after only a few weeks. I had him when I was 15 & we grew up together. He was my best friend, my soul. EVERY word of this song speaks to me. I wiped his tears, I held his hand thorugh his fears, I still feel him here with me & it is so painful. I sometimes feel so alone & I tend to bottle things up. When I hear this song it is like a release valve. The tears flow. I feel the gaping hole in my heart & my soul. It helps me to remember those precious times when he was a child & the love we shared. I have to grieve before I can heal. This song helps me do that.

fun fact:

I hate evanescence. I don't expect anyone to care about my opinion, but I just thought I'd tell you anyway. I'm not even sure why I hate them, I just do. I think it's the ultra-whiny/vampire-ish aspect of their music that really gets to me. Amy Lee's voice makes me want to kill something, which is weird because she's a good singer.

oh well. I'll just stick to my miyavi and deftones for now.

peace love and poptarts

The song is good.I have a hard time understanding what it means but ill give my interpretation of it anyways.

I think this song is about someone(Amy Lee) having put everything into a guy she loved.And it just fails at the end.

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

This verse shows where she was there for everything for him Sad,Angry,or confused,she was always there for him.And now she has nothing because he left and gave him everything she had.

I don't know what some of the songs on the album including this one but that's what I like about this band they leave the lyrics and music to you so you can put in a way where it relates to you. My sis got me into them. Amy Lee's voice is so flawless and enchanting it's hard not to listen. I catagorize this group not as rock but more of a rock opera thing.

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.

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 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

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.
