Lyrics of
My Immortal

The song reflects co-composer Amy Lees feelings about loss and mourning, primarily inspired by her grandfathers death and the abstract nature of relationships.

I'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
I wish that you could just leave
because 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've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
but 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've 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've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of
Me Oooh
Me Oooh
Me Oooh
