Song lyrics

Send "Cancer" ringtones to your cell

Turn away, 
If you could get me a drink 
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded 
Call my aunt Marie 
Help her gather all my things 
and bury me 
in all my favorite colors, 
my sisters and my brothers, still, 
I will not kiss you, 
cause the hardest part of this, 
is leaving you. 

Now turn away, 
cause I'm awful just to see 
cause all my hair's abandoned all my body, 
Oh, my agony, 
know that I will never marry, 
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo 
but counting down the days to go. 

It just ain't living 
And I just hope you know 
That if you say (if you say) 
Goodbye to day (goodbye to day) 
I'd ask you to be true (cause I'd ask you to be true) 
Cause the hardest part of this 
Is leaving you... 

Cause the hardest part of this 
Is leaving you...

29 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This is the most emotional song on the album. yes, it makes me cry. Too the post above who said they deleted it because it made them want to cry, why? why delete and amazing song for the effect that it is supposed to cause? the album is meant to stir you emotions. My Chemical Romance can make an amazing song into a master piece and they did so with every song on this ablum. Perfection comes too those whomever amaze, captivate and and mtoivate their fans.

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love this song, it's the first song that even remotely has made me want to cry. I haven't cried in years, so that's kind of a big accomplishment. Maybe it's because my mom just got cancer...

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this songs good but well i think its sending the wrong message how i see the song is he has cancer and hes ganna die well if u have/had cancer and ur ganna die that means i should have been dead 8 years ago i like the song theres nuthin wrong wif it but just because they had cancer doesnt mean there ganna die hello im living proof

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal In an interview the band did a while ago they mentined that cancer was a metaphor for something else. I just wondered if anyone knew what? I'm not very good at picking up themes and underlying meanings..
