My Immortal
Black Moon Lovers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

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





...me, me, me.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm so tired of being here
I am exhausted of staying in this place


Suppressed by all my childish fears
My youth worries have restricted me


And if you have to leave
In case you must depart


I wish that you would just leave
I want you to exit


'Cause your presence still lingers here
Your existence remains here


And it won't leave me alone
It doesn't stop bothering me


These wounds won't seem to heal
These injuries won't recover


This pain is just too real
The torment is too genuine


There's just too much that time cannot erase
Some memories can never be forgotten


When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
I was there for you every time you cried


When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
When you screamed, I protected you from your nightmares


And I held your hand through all of these years
I was with you through thick and thin


But you still have all of me
You still possess my affection


You used to captivate me by your resonating light
I was attracted to your charming personality


Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
I am now enslaved by your memory


Your face—it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your face torments me even in my peaceful slumber


Your voice—it chased away all the sanity in me
Your voice has driven me insane


I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
I convinced myself that you are no longer here


But though you're still with me
But you are still present within me


I've been alone all along
I have always been lonely
