Cancer Lyrics
My Chemical Romance Piano Tribute
Lyrics
My Chemical Romance - Cancer
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 hairs 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 goodbye today.
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.
END
