My Immortal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
And 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

[Verse 2]
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
And 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

[Pre-Chorus]
And these wounds won't seem to heal
And this pain is just too real
And 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

[Bridge]
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]
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, ah

[Outro]
Me, ah
Me, ah

Is this a real piano on the song?

No, Amy Lee revealed in an interview with Kerrang!, on their issue 1694:

The version of “My Immortal” that I hear the most in life is so old. It’s a demo vocal, a MIDI piano – not even a real piano – and me singing it, aged 17, at the radio station my dad would let us use when they’d finished with...

What does the code morse in the end of the song mean?

This code was believed to be a morse code, but it turned out to be a false information. Ben Moody explained it:

It’s actually a preset pattern on a keyboard synthesizer that we were using on that song. And if you sustain the note long enough, it trails off into this beeping that sounds a lot like M...
