Cancer
My Chemical Romance Lyrics

Connor Mills-Dudding

I can’t imagine what this must feel like for you, my sister battled cancer (she won, guys) recently and this song just rips me apart, but to lose your son… I’m so sorry

Honiee Bean

I'm sorry for your loss 😔 💚

Ur Daddy

"Sometimes, suffering is just suffering. It doesn't make you stronger. It doesn't build character.

It only hurts"

teag_smal

This. I’ve been through a lot of shit and it almost pisses me off when people call me strong because I didn’t have a fucking choice.

InfiniteShadow35

That os just my life on a daily. No that is not exaggeration.

Marouan Fares

Chills... but it doesn't build character right then and there, it's after moving on and reflecting that you realized you're stronger and you understand emotions, life, and yourself more.

Just a regular slime.

@Ryan Tosh Thank you for providing the source. A quote without a source feels incomplete.

Bzi Pachuau

Can we just stop the hate...Please.
Just appreciate both artists.
I hate that this beautiful song is why fans of emo fight.

Primah Lynx

It’s a great song you got to check out the hidden meaning behind it and watch the interview with gerard way he said this is the darkest song he ever produced

jax

What was there even a fight about MCR made the song TOP made a cover it’s simple

Renascitur

@CheezyCheesburber Just- MCR obv has the better interpretation as they ARE the ones who wrote the song and know how it's meant to be. It is still open to interpretation but I'd personally go for what the composers themselves intended.

Nobody

@TheLipezz That's so true, I was a fan of TOP first and found MCR through cancer. Their cover is awful, Gerard gave this song the raw emotions of someone who's going through cancer. The desperation, the intensity, the fight. But TOP just ruined that emotion, they turned it into a weak, emotionless song that doesn't make you feel anything.

Indigo Morléy

This morning at 10:02, my grandmother lost her battle with cancer. I have always been a fan but I have listened to this song countless times in the months leading up to her death, and it has never lost its raw emotion that few understand unless they have gone through the loss themselves. I can't thank MCR enough for this gift of a song, which summed up in just 2 minute 23 seconds the unspeakable pain of loss which cannot be explained. Thank you MCR for understanding what no one else could. Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone. Thank you for giving my grandma a voice when hers no longer worked. Thank you. 

Rest in Peace Yaiya - 10 July 1950 - 2 June 2017



Wow I completely forgot I made this comment. Seems like a lifetime ago. Thank you for all your kind words and inspiring stories. Really hope everyone here managed to make peace with their losses and struggles. Life can be really shit but we carry on. hope everyone is managing as best they can during these strange times ❤️❤️❤️

My girlfriend commited suicide on 16.03.2021. She heard alot of My Chemical Romance, you could even consider them one of her fav. Bands.
She asked me if I can play this song on her funeral, on honors to her we played it close to the lake cause I know she enjoyed the lake alot.
She was the greatest human I ever met. She had such a big heart and always was there for others, also when she wasn't feeling to good herself. It really is a big honor having her in my life and meeting such a great human! I was never was good expressing my feelings, I tried to hide them and not show them cause I was scared of getting hurt. She was the person that showed me that it is okay to show feelings and that it is okay to feel shit sometimes. She also teached me that I am not alone and that I am loved my people, maybe not many people but I am loved also when it's just her. I know she would have gone soon or later but I coudln't accept it that she would leave this world with bad memories... I wanted to give her nice memories in the time we had with each other.
If you really love someone you want to see them happy and not suffer under any pain. If you really love someone you understand them. If you really love someone you accept every of their decisions.
I still love you and always will... <3

My mom died because of Covid-19 earlier this year, i couldn't accompany her in the last time, because she was being treated in isolation room.
This song really describes my feeling, the first time I heard it several months ago, I was immediately touched.
See you again mom ❤️

@Somebody Stole My Goddamn Car Radio yeah but the song isn't made for him either and it doesn't revolve around him

Somebody Stole My Goddamn Car Radio

@Mackenzie Goodson your comment is irrelevant. Who cares if it's your favourite song. Not everything revolves around you nor the song is made for you.

I've only just started to listen to mcr, and I'm already a fan. It's a shame they broke up before I started to enjoy them

My father himself was recently diagnosed with cancer, thankfully it was at it's early stages and was successfully treated through radiation.. He's recooperating now and will get monthly check ups ❤ yet i still cry even looking at the title of this song, i can't imagine the awful pain when you lose someone to this awful desease.. i have yet learned a valuable lesson to appreciate those around me especially family..

someone.

@Vasso Kapnissi <3

Vasso Kapnissi

Hope he does well

mozart lolXD

both TOP and MCR are beautiful in their own way, Gerard sings in more of a painful courage way and Tyler sings it in more of a numbing it all way, I love both versions. I like this one more though because its The Oringnal

Something Wolfy

Idk i didnt find the other version to be like that. It just felt kinda plain. The repeating the first line over and over throughout didnt really do anything for me.
'Kiss you' over and over throughout is actually a pretty slimy hook to try and grab teen girl's attention, it doesnt actually fit with the feel or meaning of the song.
While the twenty on pilots version was certainly not a bad song, i cant say it is a good cover.

Especially the lines
If you say
Goodbye today

Mcr sing it with such a powerful lilt in the note that is lost completely in the cover and honestly makes it sound like the whole thing is done by a kid who cant really sing.

Watered down cheese🧀

@TED ED Caluag do u even know what pop is？

TED ED Caluag

The cover is Pop as fuck

Elliethesmasher :3

This one probably sounds better, but I could be bias because I love that album

Heavy DirtySoul

Gerard sings like a Fighter,
Tyler sings like he's Dying..

Zahra Sparkman

@Aizela True! Both are beautiful in their own ways. Love this song in general

Something Wolfy

I found tyler didnt sound like he was numb/given up/dying
I cant really agree with that assesment. The repetition of 'kiss you' kinda obviates any feeling like that. And the emotive lilt is entirely missing from his singing. He sounds like a kid who doesn't have any experience of the emotions he is singing about....

Now im not saying their version is bad, but it is objectively not as good as the mcr version.

I find this quite weird because in say, stressed out, he coveys a pretty good emotional range.

Mcr have the bleak, given up feeling in the piano, didnt find it anywhere in twenty one pilots. But cheap repetition and a hook for teenage girls.. pretty slkmy

Drink cactus juice It’ll quench ya

@Radhe Bhai average… AVERAGE WHAT THE HELL DO U MEAN BY THAT THEY ARE SO UNIQUE BRUH!?!

Unisieppari

I remember when I told my friend that this is one of my favourite mcr songs. We listened to it in a voice chat together on discord, he cried a lot. He then told me the story of how his mom died, an agressive cancer.

Years later, now, he has the same thing. Turns out it's heritable. He got diagnosed a few days ago. He sent me this song now and asked "remember?", now I'm here crying. He will get treatments for it etc and I'll support him all the way through. Let's hope that he makes it, he has the sweetest personality and world needs people like him.

I hope you and your friend is doing okay!

I lost my grandfather to cancer on Halloween 2019, a week after losing a friend to suicide. This song helped a lot. Thank you MCR, I’m excited to see your reunion in September ❤️

I am sorry to hear that I may not know what it is to lose my grandfather but my grandma is very sick she may die and my aunt recently passed. My condolences friend.

asscake

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
All 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)
Good-bye today (good-bye today)
I'd ask you to be true (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

Now if it was top you would just repeat two lines for 4 minutes and instead of having instruments just ruin the whole thing with the crap electric stuff

@Owen S. Studios ayy welcome

Connor Mills-Dudding

My sister had cancer,
And while I’m not the most emotional person, the first time I listened to this song has to be the first time I’ve full on cried in a while.
Beautiful writing, song hit just the right chord for me, it’s just so… much

Shinji :D

My grandfather died 8 years ago. He had lung cancer for a long time... The hardest thing was to see him spitting blood... Grandpa, you were strong as a mountain...

Stacy Jorge

I have Luekemia. I'm on active chemotherapy. I'm having a difficult time with treatment currently. This song hit the nail square on the head.

R - Idem

Yeah, it hits specially since one doesn't know if tomorrow you'll be able to see another day - I too have leukemia and at the moment I'm under maintenance with chemo pills. So, if I'm doing my hardest in spite of tomorrow, you can too. I know it's hard, but we can do it.

Juliana SLAYter

Hey you know you could beat this and enjoy life again stay strong 💗 praying for you 💗

I went to an Mcr concert last night and this song is 100000x more emotional live

I love both versions. Thank you for helping my broken heart feel just a little bit better.

1:41 gives me chills EVERY time

Ralph Zamora

Father had lung cancer since 2015 but we never knew about it. He kept it to himself so we wouldn’t be worried.
I was in army basic training when I got the message when he was going to die. They sent me home on Saturday.. 3 days later he passed away
His last words to me
We’re “get your shit together” knowing that I’m gonna need to be the man of the house now

Itsda Memes25

I just lost my aunt to breast cancer... all these comments are so fucking sad fuck me

Joe Mama

mandala 314

I can't stop listening to this song, cuz my mom knew she was dying from breast cancer and I spent the last month by her side, and she told me the hardest part of everything she was going through wasn't the chemo or the radiation or the wasting away, my mom said "I don't want to leave you" and we pinkie-linked like we always did. it was our special code for when she wanted to hug me like in high school but I'd be too embarrassed for a hug, so we just did a little pinkie link. I was 26 when she died and she's always been my hero and now I've taught my daughter the pinkie link and she loves MCR too

Sugar Fire

I think im gonna cry more from this than i am the song and I have had cancer twice now
I am so sorry for your loss

Haley Shelley

I actually teared up a bit while reading this...but ended up bawling. I’m so sorry for your loss.

You raised her right

Jigoku Shojo i’m crying i’m so sorry for your loss but so happy you kept your mom’s legacy alive with your daughter

Gaza Isla

My mom passed away from cancer just yesterday after faithfully fought for about 3-4 years. I'm so proud of herself. I'm so proud of her victory. I keep playing this song an entire day to recall her victorious.

Kenz

Last week my grandfather passed away from cancer. six months ago was when we found out he first had it. we spent the past six months trying to do everything he wanted to do. i watched him go from my fit-handsome-cheery grandfather to a frail man i couldn’t even recognise. This song helped me through those tough months and still continues to help. Please life is so short, give your loved ones a hug.

Cancer sucks! I hope you're doing well man.

Today is my friends brother’s birthday, he passed away from cancer last year. She misses him so much. He would have been 17 this year. I hope he’s watching over her, their parents and their two younger sisters. wherever he is. Happy Birthday Brodie.

Addii_playz

happy birthday brodie!!

sunfleck

I’m so sorry to hear this. I almost cried reading your comment.

Rebecka Garcia

I had never heard this song until after my battle with leukemia last year and I'm glad that I heard it when I did because I can actually relate to it and it just takes all my emotions and expresses them for me in a way. I've been in remission since April

Dapuff Caster

"Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you"
Don't we all feel the same

tyraeljr

@Kathryn Haugen they didnt break up. The song said about chemo and i think i person is facing near death from his cancer and he's already feeling the hard part of leaving someone he loves.

Mo 2Wheelz

Very true

I told myself I wouldn't cry but I did.

holy cow i literally saw ur comment AS SOON as it came up in the song!

As a top and mcr fan both versions are great in their own way, mcr is like a the person is in pain, yelling out of regret whilst top is more of a sad goodbye to the world

Shouto Todoroki

Me: feeling nostalgic af and crying
Also Me: singing along to the song
Strangely Me: never heard the song before

Is that weird?

did u listen to the top cover of this song before?

i was (and still am) a huge fan of My Chemical Romance, and when my grandma had cancer last year or so this was the song I listened to, luckily she beat it and I was so relieved, this song helped me keep it together when I was anxious 24/7, hoping she'd make it. I've always been so close to her. 2 or so months ago she passed away due to a hard battle of covid, my mom found out through a phone call and when she told me about it I didn't believe it. I ran to my room and just laid down and stared at the ceiling. She beat cancer yet wasn't able to beat a stupid virus, it was so unbelievable. shortly after I had to go to her funeral and I finally cried. just a few minutes ago I was going through my liked and came across this song, as soon as i heard "that if you say goodbye today I'd ask you to be true." and past that i bawled my eyes out, i miss you grandma, and im so sorry i couldnt see you last christmas. :( <3

Mae Mae

This song hits different when you know someone with incurable cancer.

It really teaches you to appreciate the small moments that you used to take for granted

The Gay One

I hate how top fans and MCR fans have to fight over this because it's a beautiful song and personally I believe that both versions are amazing

Zeal

The song really lost me during the remixed parts in between the verses.

max caliolio

@Kiuas not kool, my man. i dont really like this version but still dont go around saying its cringey.

Santi Carbajal

@Kiuas imo, both versions are good, and both bands are good, i love tøp more than my life, and MCRx has some pretty good songs, some great, but this is my opinion

breakfree

@Kiuas Well, that is your opinion.

I am sick of all people who are arguing about which version of the song is better and which is worse. It is very childish and just unnecessary.

Kiuas

honestly the tøp version is just cringey

Jessica Bosze

THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER!!!!! I LOVE TWENTY ONE PILOTS!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!

Rat Kid

This makes me cry every time. This is the only song that has made me cry. I’m proud to be a fan of mcr.

*—*•-•

In my opinion, both the versions of this song are sad, but this one Gerard sings it like he knows that one day he will disappear, but he isn't scared of death. He seems worried for all the people that he love that will live without him, he seems scared that they will be sad for him for a very long time. In the twenty one pilots cover, it seems like the guy of the song is scared of death, becuse he doesn't know what it's like to die. He wants the support of his loved ones, he wants them to be with him beacause he's scared of leaving them.
That's just my opnion

Anne marie

Me recuerda a una amiga casi hermana que no me llevaba muy bien con ella y me dijo una vez que esta canción se la sabia cuando no era verdad.😊

Ako ay isang alikabok sa sansinukob

I wish that there will be more treatments discovered for cancer to prolong our loveones life. I miss you mommy.

Nanjeroni

I hate how this beautiful song is the reason T∅P and MCR fans fight.

Edit:
Bruh, three years and this comment still gets replies.
For the record, I GREATLY prefer the original, and my comment was about my distaste in rabid fan warfare.
But now, I’ve come to realize that this is an inherent part of fan culture.
I now look upon such bickering with complete apathy.

TL;DR fandoms suck, they can burn for all I care.

🖤ThatOne_Emo🖤

@Bored Holy shit I forgot I made this comment and i'm so sorry. I'm now a TOP fan as well as an MCR fan, and I feel so bad and so dumb.

TED ED Caluag

You don't compare originals to counterfeits period!!!

Taylor Pierce

twenty one pilots’ sounds like giving up
My Chemical Romance’s sounds like fighting, i like tøp’s more tbh.. but i also like this one as well

spankywzl

@1:42 breaks my already wounded heart every time.
Lost my mom to ovarian cancer in 2003, and upon hearing The Black Parade album, and this track in particular, I broke down hard. It is such a painfully beautiful song.

Connor Mills-Dudding

So sorry that you lost your mother, I nearly lost my sister to the same (ovarian cancer) earlier this year and this song feels like its twisting the knife in my heart… I can’t even begin to fathom how this might be for you… I’m just so sorry, man

Jordan Jackson

I know this will be buried but my uncle died from
Brain cancer and this song helped my cope with it. It was so unexpected and made teenage me realize that life is fleeting and ever so precious.

I love MCR and TØP but Gerard sings it better than Tyler but I love both

Acaban de Anunciar que vuelven .. y Son Tendencia Mundial!!! Este día será recordado 😭😭😭

Shannon Warner

You know...this song ripped my heart out when it came out, when my Dad died of cancer, and when I was going through cancer treatment a year and a half later. Easily one of my favorite MCR songs of all time. <3

Red Sus

Singing MCR with a smile on your face and tears in your eyes... Who else does this?

Dan Robin Libunao

it's nearly the end of 2021 and still this song hits hard. It will just make you remember the happiest and the saddest memories of the ones you love and cherish so much.

ARI

If they don't play this at my funeral im not dying

Mord

Gerard sounds like he's dying like a hero giving his final words, tyler sounds like he's dying with his loved one. Gerard's is more of a "never give up" and tyler's is more of a "never forget me", either way the original and the cover are so good, each one of us has our own preferences so lets just respect each others opinion about the song, and what matters the most is that we all appreciate and feel the message of the song, whomever sang it.

shreya :)

lost my mom 9 years ago due to ovarian cancer and my aunt last year because of breast cancer. still haven't been able to get back to life normally. but somehow listening to this makes me relive the days when they went through chemo sessions, making me hope that they are happier now :)

Fabio Tomasini

I haven't listened to this song in years because I kept skipping it in my playlist but, I can proudly say, Gerard's raw emotions are still capable of making me sad

Both are great and I listen to them depending on my mood and currently my mood is here

ניר חכם

You know what, this is definitely one of the greatest my chemical romance songs ever, and one of the most underrated songs of all time!

Megan Carr

Goodness its been years since I've heard this song. I'll never forget buying this CD and being at my grandma's with a cd player having this album on repeat. Listening to this song breaks my heart since she passed away with cancer. Fuck cancer! This song will always have a place on my heart🖤

Justin Boshears-Hazen

Mcr, you may not ever come back and that's okay. This MCRX that you are doing is amazing. I'm okay if i will never see you live becuase your memory will carry on. I discovered you less than a year ago, but you have shaped me to be who i am.
I wore my MCR earrings today an I refreshed my youtube every hour. I planned to wear my MCr shirt today (even though im not) and I just want to say ii love you anyway

7 years have passed since my Mom died because of cancer I cry everytime I hear this song it feels like my Mom is the one singing the song to me. It hurts too much while listening but still I keep coming back to keep all the memories.

Quoya Johnson

I love this album❤️ Gerard's voice...is so beautiful, touching, and everything ❤️

XTREME DUBSTEP

I'm not even emo, but some of My Chemical Romance songs has such good meanings and messages behind it. People with cancer do feel insecure sometimes, its sad but true, hint the lyrics "Turn away, 'Cause I'm awful just to see, 'Cause all my hair's abandoned, all my body, all my agony knows that I will never marry." Its so sad, Cancer is so hard to beat and so many dies from it everyday. I still believe doctors and all knows the cure for Cancer but considering they make so much money, they dont help or aren't allowed to help. We need to pray for those who have it because its literally 50/50 on if they'll live or not. God bless you all, and I'll be praying for those who need or or don't need it!

Gaza Isla

My mom passed away from cancer just yesterday after faithfully fought for about 3-4 years. I'm so proud of herself. I'm so proud of her victory. I keep playing this song an entire day to recall her victorious.

Twenty One Pilots, you've been... actually really good, your version is just as depressing but brings a sense of hopelessness too, both versions are fantastic.

aleonard3249

You may survive cancer but it leaves you with both mental and emotional scars you will carry the rest of your life. My survived AML Leukemia twice when I was 10. It was 19 years ago but I STILL remember how saline tastes and burns when you get your IV flushed.

So I became a RN on a cancer ward. My pain and suffering has been turned into hope for my patients and their families that I care for. My job is the hardest, most rewarding, and emotionally devastating job I've ever had.

Minoli Fernando

I listened to cancer before, but today I actually listened to the lyrics AND DEAR GOD! This was exactly what my mom went through when she was on her last days. I just can't stop crying.

Origami Swan

I think they’re both great in their own ways, I personally like both but I feel like people need to respect that MCR wrote and did this song first and maybe acknowledge it more?? Idk maybe I’m just being weird

Is it normal to cry to this song every single time?

Last year in late October my mom died of cancer and I was by her side whenever I could now I come to this song and cry tears of joy knowing she isn't in pain anymore

I love you mommy and I miss you every single day thank you for raising me

@Brian BigBosssorry for your loss

Brian BigBoss

Same. Brain in her case, and she passed in December. Fuck Cancer.

Help, dababy turned me into a convertible

both of the versions are equally amazing. both portray different feelings but both are masterpieces. I want to applaud MCR for the beautiful lyrics and TOP for another awesome approach to the equally awesome original

That moment when you get him a glass of water cuz his lips are chapped and faded, you called his aunt Marie, buried him in his favorite colors And he still won't kiss you

I found this song right after I lost my uncle to stomach cancer, it reminded me that sometimes you just have to let yourself cry before you start feeling better.
Never disregard your health and see a doctor if you feel sick, and to those left behind, it's not your fault if you didn't get to say goodbye, they knew you love them.
Bye bye uncle pat, may we meet again somewhere over the rainbow.

Can we please just stop fighting over this beautiful song.
Let the people enjoy whichever version they like.
The bottom line is this song is soo powerful.
So just appreciate both.

THIS SONG IS SO AMAZING BUT SO SHORT I NEED MORE

KoraTheNinja

The MCR version is raw and presented in the 'anger' and sadness part of accepting whilst tøp was the 'I give up' kinda stage. Either way they are both very emotional songs

IDontKnowWhatToPut

The Killjoys I did that ,one second in and I busted into tears.

IamKing

It's beautiful , I've been listening to it for 3 hours now

CindyLouWhoXO

I love the original version of this song and I also really like the cover TOP did. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ They’re both amazing, I don’t see why people argue. How many songs did you not know were actually a cover?? I bet you didn’t know “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” was originally done by Bob Dylan, NOT Guns ‘N’ Roses. You likely also didn’t know that “All Along the Watchtower” is a Bob Dylan song and NOT a Jimi Hendrix song, despite both of those songs being decades old. The covers are more popular so that’s what people know. Those are just a fee examples. And nobody ever gives anybody shit for it?? Toxic fandoms.

I heard this song for the first time when I was 10. At the time my mother was battling cancer and the song really got me. About 6 years later I still can't listening to this without crying. I miss her a lot.

Alec Skinner

I don't think I've ever listened to this song a single time without crying at least once. What great songwriting.

Crimson Cheetah

Me: shows my mom this song.
Mom: "so this song is about someone dying, right?
Me: "yeah, the album it's from is about this guy who's dying in the hospital."
Mom: "the whole album? So you just cry the whole time?"
Me: "exactly."
Mom: "was their next album happier at least?"
Me: "their next album was about the apocalypse."
Mom: "oh..."
Me: "but it was a fun apocalypse."
Mom: "oh... okay..."
Literally a conversation I just had with my mom... I think she's worried about me.

Exclipzed

No he actually made it for his Grandmother

"but their next album was fine right?"
