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've 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 (Ah, me, ah, me, ah)

"My Immortal" foi composta quando Amy Lee e Ben Moody tinham apenas 15 anos, embora a gravação mais antiga date de 1997.
A versão inclusa no álbum *Fallen* utiliza os vocais demo de Lee e um teclado MIDI, uma escolha da gravadora Wind-up contra a vontade da cantora, sem incluir a instrumentação completa (guitarra, bateria e baixo) que havia sido regravada especificamente para o álbum.
As cordas soantes na faixa original do álbum *Fallen* foram adicionadas durante a produção e provêm de Graeme Revell, compositor da trilha sonora do filme *Daredevil*, no qual a música também foi incluída.
O clipe em preto e branco foi filmado no Bairro Gótico de Barcelona e recebeu uma indicação ao MTV Video Music Award de Melhor Vídeo de Rock.
"My Immortal" alcançou o primeiro lugar nas paradas de Canadá, Grécia e Portugal, chegando ao sétimo lugar na US Billboard Hot 100.
Em 2005, a música foi indicada ao Grammy de Melhor Performance Pop por um Dúo ou Grupo com Vocais na 47ª cerimônia.
