i just had to share this song from Amy Lee of Evanescence who so obviously is also in the same position as so many of us. her songs all seem to reflect the pain.
this song always touched me emotionally, and then I really, really read the words and thought---wow.
listen to the song if you can. she's a wonderful artist.
YouTube - Evanescence My Immo


here are the words:

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
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, me, me

I LOVE that song. I never paid close attention to the lyrics until now, and wow!

I love Evanescence; Amy Lee's voice is just amazing. My other favorite song is "Call Me When You're Sober" especially the last lines:

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

Should I let you fall?
Lose it all?
So maybe you can remember yourself.
Can't keep believing,
We're only deceiving ourselves .
And I'm sick of the lie,
And you're too late.

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

Couldn't take the blame.
Sick with shame.
Must be exhausting to lose your own game.
Selfishly hated,
No wonder you're jaded.
You can't play the victim this time,
And you're too late.

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

You never call me when you're sober.
You only want it cause it's over,
It's over.

How could I have burned paradise?
How could I - you were never mine.

So don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
Don't lie to me,
Just get your things.
I've made up your mind.

I apologize for bumping a four year old thread...but...

I was on my way into work this morning, and this song came onto my player randomly. I haven't heard it in probably a decade. The words were just a trigger...I must have been in the right (wrong!) mindset or something, because I broke down pretty heavily and had to pull over due to not being able to concentrate on driving. It was cathartic.

I just got into work and figured someone must have posted about this song previously on these boards, so instead of starting a new thread, I did a search and here we are.

Thanks.

The song "My Immortal" reminded me of the relationship I had with the guy I was engaged to before I married my XAH - and whaddya know, he was the son of an alcoholic as well with his own addiction issues - just like my XAH.
