Song lyrics

Send "Famous Last Words" ringtones to your cell

Now I know 
That I can’t make you stay 
But where’s your heart 
But where’s your heart 
But where’s your... 

no no 
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 
well 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, you'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 
well 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, you'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, you'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]

I had to search through all these song for ones with clean lyrics, so I could listen to them around my partents and I'm very dissapointed with this album. I mean it's great and all just vulgar...I mean I brought you my bullits you brought me your love, and three cheers for sweet revenge had limited language and I'm just very depressed.

17 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I will cover the final 2 tracks here. 12. Disenchanted The lowest point in The Patient's story. Also the climax since it is the turning point. He believes his life to be without a point. Struggled through so much, but what to show for it? 13. Famous Last Words It's over. The story that is. Whether life goes on is open to opinion and preference. After experiencing the full spectrum of emotions, (fear, depression, anger, regret) it is time to move along. The Patient's love is too great to be ignored for his lover. He will go on if he must though. His love is returned, and the warm feeling is that The Patient is on his way to heaven. (bright lights, home). But is he dead? Bright lights could refer to the room after having eyes closed for a long time. Asleep or dead? That is the question. Perhaps this complication with the heart was one that has been broken, and the cancer had not yet taken his life, or he had recovered? All these questions and more. Which is what makes this truly one of the best Rock Opera's of all time.

16 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I saw them in concert on the 14th. This song live is unbelievable. It really is. Just to be honest, I didn't think MCR would sound as good live, but it was even better.

13 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is AMAZING...but then again it's from MCR, so what could you expect? And if you haven't seen the video yet, you need to, it's so dark and cool and just...awesome.

268 posts	Worst.band.ever. Worst.video.ever and you can foolishly disagree with me if you want, but there is no denying the lack of talent and originalty this band has. I cringe thinking of how many people actually buy into this band and other bands like them, when there are actually talented musicians out there that are way underrated but have much more passion and experience in the music business. Back to the topic of the video, I'm 16 years old and I could easily think of at least 3 other, better ways to present this song as a video. But luckily I don't think I'd ever have the unfortunate responsibilty of having to direct a video for this teen-angsty thirty something year old band. That may be a bit harsh but it's my opinion. I'll be glad when My Chemical Romance is gone due to lack of popularity when the next big trend comes along (hopefully we [and when I say "we" I don't mean I] will actually let go of the 'I'm-so-deep-and-artsy' phase and move into something else)

4 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal yeah, this song is preddy much awsum, along with every other one of theirs. People who think this band is not original & such must not even take the time to actually listen to the lyrics. This band has done so much for many people, and they are makin a difference. And thats all I gotta say, they are amazzing and their concerts are just...wow.

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is so amazing, I think it might be my favorite on TBP album. I especially love the part when he sing "Can you see My eyes are shining bright" It sounds so beautiful.

27 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal From the first time I heard this song, I knew it was destined to become a single. This saddens me because I'm afraid that Radio will kill this song just like it does every great song by over playing it. BUT yeah, this song was my favorite after listening to it just once. I can't get enough of this song. I agree with the post above me. That's my favorite part of the song too! I dunno why. It just is! I hope that MCR can out do this album because that would be a truly AMAZING accomplishment! The best CD I have ever bought!

29 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal To the person above with the unjustifiable opinion, I am 14 and I can think off no way better to make the video, not because I am stupid or incompetent, no it is because it's how they should have ended it , I suppose most of your ideas would include raging and could probably cost alot of money. However they have used simplicity to it's fullest extent and seeing as it has a superior meaning to which your brain is too warped to realise you wouldn't understand. My Chemical Romance are not a one hit wonder, they have fans and that is enough, those whom are loyal to MCR will be here at the end, enjoying every song to it's fullest and continuing to buy their albums. Sorry, I couldn't remember your name but quite frankly I don't think it is worth remembering.
