"My Immortal"
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
...me, me, me.
This song came on the radio today at work. And I hate this song. Don't get me wrong it's a good song and I like so go that actually mean something and we'll this sing definitely means something.
I think what I dislike most about this song is the line 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone' because it describes exactly how I feel (what used to be every moment but is now every now and then) it pains me because i still have the memories and I don't want them anymore.
The line 'I've tried so hard to tell my self that you're gone' I know I never have to see you again, I know you'll never hurt me again because I won't let you!! The times I have seen you its crushed me, almost ripped me to shreds, felt fear rip through my body and almost tear me apart.
But it didn't. Thats how I know I'm strong. I have the power, the strength to be okay, to walk away when I see you, I don't have to hurt myself anymore, physically or emotionally.
This song caused me to have the breakdown that changed everything in my life. Mostly for the good. For that I am greatful, for the painful memories not so much.
