Evanescence - My Immortal (lyrics)

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause 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 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 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 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 held your hand through all of these years
You still have all of me, me, me

My mom loved this song. She recently passed away and I think about her every time I hear it. Mom, I love you and I miss you so much ❤️

Honestly, this hits me in the feels. A year or two ago when I was 13-14(I'm 15 now), my biological dad passed away due to him not taking care of himself and being ill. This hits me in the feels because well...I miss him a lot. But hearing this, I can remember the happy memories I had with him with no regret and no sadness, just tears of happiness.

I'm 32 and still feel the pain I felt when I was 15 listening to this song when my mom passed away from cancer. Man this still hits home 😭...

I lost my husband last week, sitting outside the funeral home he’s resting in, awaiting cremation. I’ll be able to see him in a couple of days, just listening to this being physically close to him is both heartbreaking and comforting at the same time. This world hasn’t seen a better man until he walked it, there’s no one who could compare or replace him. Time used to be so precious, now it’s just a curse. I just want to be wherever it is that he is. I love you eternally my angel, rest in peace 💔🙏🏻

When my mom died of suicide, this song was too painful to listen. Now, 7 years later, I finally be able to listen this song. It still hurts, but also heals my hart and soul. Thank you for this song. ❤

My Dad played this song when I was a baby. I heard it again for the first time in years, after coming out of a difficult time of mental illness. I think the whole sadness of it just reminds me of depression, how far I've come, but also how much you lose out of it that you'll never get back again. So much changes.

I wish all the people in this comment section many blisses in life. Stay strong friends, after a dark, painful night, there’s a much brighter, happier day. We’ve all going through tough times, but we are stronger than we know about.❤

This song saved me freshman year. My mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer. And my father the same day she was diagnosed got angry with me about something. I still don’t know what. But for one year my father refused to speak, look, or be in the same room with me. I remember for hours sitting by his locked door. Begging him to forgive me. Maybe tell me what was going on with my mom. Anything. Soon I gave up. Whenever the loneliness got to much I played this song over and over again. Imagining it as someone talking to me.

[meowmix]

i used to listen to this when i was 16 and grieving my fathers overdose and it still feels as strong as it did nearly 6 years ago, i dont know if ill ever feel normal but i atleast hope he is finally at peace.

[happyian]

My best friend died August 2019 of an unintentional overdose. This song brings me back to the day I found out she passed. The pain of that feeling like she’s gonna walk in somewhere, then realizing she’s dead, is a pain I don’t wish on anyone

[billhesketh]

I had this song played at my wife's funeral because it said everything that I was feeling Now after 3 year's it's still appropriate

[AngelCat]

I remember my mom used to say she'd cry to this song, and she liked this song.
She passed away about six months ago, when i was about to turn 18 that same month.

I love you mom. I still miss you.

[Its_bts]

I am 14 and i am still suffering from this song and i have been bullied since i was 5 years old. My whole life has been miserable and no one supported me

[gnmorales]

this is a song about loss, not just death but heartbreak to me

[freemovies]

I died so many years ago, still this song makes me feel alive. Such an awfull feeling. Thank you.

[wootusmootus]

My husband passed from a car accident in 2014. Time stopped for me. This is my song to him still ❤️‍🩹

[grimmquinn]

The 1 year passing of my grandma is in a few days, I plan on singing my heart out to this in her honor. She will never get to see me get married, and I miss her dearly.

[edvera]

In Jan 2009 I lost my wife to metastatic breast cancer. We were married for 22 years. Since my wife’s passing, I have not touched another woman, and I may not for the rest of my life because her “presence still lingers here” and she “still have all of me.” And I’m ok with that because we had for almost 22 years what so many people will ever have in their lifetime and for that I am grateful.

[divinelove]

I lost a part of myself that was such a bright soul. I feel like my alter ego came out and I’m still trying to heal that part of myself. It’s a never ending battle for me. I lost the best part of myself and I miss her so much. Now I’m completely numb to all the conflicts I’ve been through and since then I can never cry as hard as I did before and I honestly feel like that makes my soul less of a human if that makes any sense. I wish that part me of would just come back.

[Veronicaixchel]

😔 miss good memories. Depression is just a clinical symptom of a cruel event of injustice .Feelings pass but never forget or forgive. You're stronger and enough already. You're a survivor. Love yourself a bit more today
