Hi guys,

I wanted to ask for your opinions here. I might not be the smartest guy in the world so that is probably why I haven't figured this out yet, but what is the song My Immortal about? To me the Immortal part speaks of God, but the lyrics don't speak of that at all.

To me it is like someone who went away, and all the pain still lingers and the anguish of having to deal with it.

Anyways, any thoughts would be appreciated. Make me smarter than I am, I need all the help I can get! :)



MY IMMORTAL
==================
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would 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
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along

Personally, I think it talks about a relationship in which one person felt betrayed, after showing the other person lots of love. Kind of like "I love you so much, but you didn't care". The title of the song? Not sure. Maybe the betrayed one had raised her partner to near-God like status, which can happen in relationships sometimes. So when he let her down, she was doubly hurt, because she had him on a pedestal.

Just my thoughts though. :)
