My Immortal
Evanescence · 2003
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- 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
Echo the hook
- These wounds won't seem to heal
- This pain is just too real
- There's just too much that time cannot erase
