My Immortal


I love this song by Evanescence. The lyrics always hit me hard and especially now. I've found out recently that often times there are wounds that regardless of how much time you give them, they never seem to heal. There are certain people who will always steal all the breath from your body. And there are certain periods of time that you will never forget-no matter how hard you try. This song reminds me of that. I just wish everything I just said wasn't true. (BTW- those two cute guys I'm standing in between.....dad and big bro. Two men I can always count on.)


C


'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 But you still have All of me
