Song lyrics
Now I know
That I can't make you stay
But where's your heart
But where's your heart
But where's your...

And I know
There's nothing I could say
To change that part
To change that part
To change

So many
Bright lights to cast a shadow
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A life that's so demanding
I get so weak
A love that's so demanding
I can't speak

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, i'll be forgiving
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

Can you see
My eyes are shining bright
Cause I'm out there
On the other side
Of the jet black hotel mirror
And I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A love that's so demanding
I get weak

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, i'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, i'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

These bright lights are
always blind to me
These bright lights are
always blind to me
I say

I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
[x4]

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiving
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
[x3]

This is my favorite song on the album. I'm a hard-core MCR fan, thanks to the "emo group" that happily took me in when my "friends" left me in seventh grade.

I could listen to this song all day if my parents wouldn't complain about it.

Loved it. Gerard Way's voice is amazing at the start, but great all the way through. Excellent.
Oh, and I think some people getting a teensy bit overheated... It's a song. Some people don't like it. Others do. Name one band that everyone in the world likes. Oh wait.... THEY DON'T EXIST!!!! Everyone has different music tastes, and to be honest, if everyone liked the same style of music, it would get INCREDIBLY boring. That's the point of music - there are so many different styles out there, there's something to suit everyone.
People are free to leave as many comments as they like about how they love/hate the band, but please, don't criticise people simply because they have a different taste in music to you. And arguably, MCR are no more or less "original" or "rubbish" than any other band. Who cares? All that matters is whether or not you like them.

This is the worst MCR song ever.
Don't understand why they made a video for this trash.

I really think this song is not orignial, which is a shame, because mcr used to make very original songs.

My main problem with this song is that it (like all their new songs) is very showy and overdone. I think their new album is really just one big broadway act to gain popularity.

In my opinion, this whole album is just bad music disguised by showiness and self-obsession--which seems to be what people these days like in music.

Also - I love the video. There's fire in it, and fire videos are the coolest (e.g. the ultimate video is Alexisonfire's This Could Be Anywhere In The World - because of the fire. It just looks so freaking cool). (And no I'm not a pyro).

I love this song. No matter how much I hear it, I never like it any less and it always manages to take my mind of anything I'm worrying about. I don't know why, but it can always put a smile on my face.

Also, I'm not going to get into any discussions here, but I think the musicians (especially Ray Toro on guitar) are quite underrated. They do know how to play their instruments, and they play them well. The guitar in particular in this song is also very uplifting - something no one should find fault with (there's not enough positivity in the world).

I am a big My Chem fan.. I must say this song blew me away when I first heard it. Later, when it got radio play, and everyone and their mom was like OMG! MCR not afraid to keep on living yayz lol!!!!1 I started to not like it as much.. I had to dig deeper, and dig down into the lyrics and look at exactly what MCR was trying to tell me as a fan, and listener. My Chem is trying to make something special with this song, trying to tell you not to be afraid.. Look at all the patient went through... he wasnt afraid at all at this point in the album.. Its kind of a get out there and live your life song..

To feathers or whatever the name is, just listen to whatever you listen to, please dont criticize my music and the band I listen to, and the band that has changed my life. They are not just another band on the music scene, they are so much more. I don't go comment on how much I hate the music you listen to, i honestly dont even know what you listen to, but i stay quiet, and respect that you have an opinon, and a different taste. Its fine that you dont like my chem, i got over it.

Well you know Frantic Feathers... no one cares what you think of becuase you
shouldn't listen to it if it infuriates you so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! && if you know anything.... you'd know that my chemical romance doesn't sound like any stupid wannabe band *hint hint* Panic! at the disco, Falloutboy, etc. I don't have anything against those bands but listen to them and they all sound the same... but don't even say that My Chemical Romance sounds like any other band becuase that obviously proves that your completely tone deaf.

so you know what?? Fuck off! kay?


or don't fucking listen to the song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

go get a life, staind......what is your idea of real music? and how does MCR not compete? yeah maybe gerard does have a different voice, and NO the black parade is NOT a boring album it's very well written and well put together. the cd is called "the black parade" not "welcome to the black parade" just FYI. just leave if you're gonna say how "Bad" MCR is (which they arent.) this song is amazing, and i love the video even tho it is possibly the most uneventful video ever made, lol. but i still love it! haha XD

even with his constipated voice, Way starts this song off well. It then loses its great melody a few seconds later, making it a boring song that seems to go on forever. further proving that my chemical romance just cant compete with other rock heavyweights. And Welcome To The Black Parade A very, very boring album

To FranticFeathers who said they are a "thirty-somethingband", The only member that is 30 is Gerard Way, who ironically just turned 30 today. The rest are in their mid to late twenties.

yes yes prase the lord that mikey is INCREDIBLY goodlooking. and he looks GREAT with alicia which SUCKS! but people can have their own opinion about MCR my opinion is they rock. personally, i diss bands sometimes that other people like and they do it to me but we deal with it. but oh wow. i love this song. the video is simple yet it works for them. but it really annoys me when gerard drops the mic and he has dirt on his rat teeth. ahhhhhhhh yes i know everybody thinks gerard is hot and he is okay but mikey is definitely the hottest, no doubt. (ha no pun intended that people were just talking about no doubt) but gerard has really small teeth and it is annoying. im glad he dyed his hair back to black, now he needs to grow it out again.!!!!
great song, video and band. not to mention bassist. hehe
I LOVE MY CHEM!!!!!
AND MIKEY! AND GERARD! AND FRANK! RAY AND BOB TOO!!! haha im done.
