"my immortal" - evanescence

from fallen

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 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
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 is such a beautiful song. it's about death and coming to terms with someone who passes on. their memory is so near and you cannot stop thinking about them. it is so painful and time does not really help much. it is a very slow process that doesn't seem to really change how you feel. when you lose someone you love it just hurts so much and you feel alone. on one hand you want to keep going with your life but losing this person is so hurtful that you cannot. this song just really puts all the emotions you feel into one song, it's so haunting and sad. i listen to it over and over because even though it makes me feel sad, i already do and somehow it helps.
