11. It's Not a Fashion Statement
My Chemical Romance Lyrics

For what you did to me,
I am addressing you directly and holding you accountable for the harm you caused me.

And what I'll do to you,
I am also acknowledging that I plan to seek revenge on you for what you've done.

You get, what everyone else gets,
Despite any special ability or privilege you may feel entitled to, you will ultimately receive the same treatment as everyone else.

You get a lifetime
The consequences of your actions will follow you for the rest of your life.

Do you remember that day when we met
I am reflecting on our past and how it has led us to this point.

You told me this gets harder
You warned me that life would not always be easy.

Well it did
Your warning proved to be true, as life has become increasingly difficult for me.

Been holding on forever,
Despite the challenges I have faced, I have remained resilient and determined to persevere.

Promise me that when I'm gone you'll kill my enemies,
I am entrusting you with the task of avenging me once I am no longer alive.

The damage you've inflicted, temporary wounds
While the harm you have caused me may have felt like it would last forever, I know deep down that it is only temporary.

I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me
Even if you try to escape the repercussions of your actions, I will find a way to make you face them.

I'm taking back the life you stole
I refuse to let you have the power to control my life or my destiny any longer.

We never got that far,
Although we may have had dreams and aspirations, we did not achieve all that we hoped for.

This helps me to think all through the night
The thought of what could have been keeps me up at night, but at the same time it helps me to process my emotions.

Bright lights that won't kill me now, or tell me how
Despite the difficulties I am facing, I can find comfort and solace in the light that never fades away.

Just you and I, your starless eyes remain.
Even in the darkest of times, I can still see the truth in your eyes and remember what we once shared.

Hip Hip Hooray for me, you talk to me, but would you kill me in my sleep
I am acknowledging my own accomplishments and victories, but also recognizing that you may not truly have my best interests at heart.

Lay still like the dead
In order to survive in this harsh world, it may be necessary to put up a facade or pretend to be something you're not.

From the razor to the rosary
The spectrum of experiences we go through in life can be both painful and peaceful.

We could lose ourselves
There are times when it is easy to get lost in the chaos around us and lose sight of what matters most.

And paint these walls in pitchfork red
Our anger and frustration can sometimes manifest itself in violent or destructive ways.

I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take
As long as I am alive, I will continue to seek justice for the wrongs done to me in the past.

This hole you put me in
Your actions have caused me to feel trapped and limited in my life.

Wasn't deep enough
Despite what you may have thought, I have found the strength to climb out of the hole you put me in.

And I'm climbing out right now
I am currently taking control of my life and forging my own path forward.

You're running out of places to hide from me
Even if you try to avoid me or the consequences of your actions, it will only be a matter of time before you are forced to confront them.

Just know that I will remember you
No matter what happens, I will never forget the impact you have had on my life, for better or for worse.

If living was the hardest part
Even though life can be incredibly difficult at times, there are certain trials and tribulations that even death cannot erase.

We'll then one day be together
In spite of all the hardships we have faced, there is still hope that we will one day find peace and be reunited.

And in the end we'll fall apart
Although our reunion has the potential to be beautiful, it is also inevitable that it will eventually come to an end.

Just like the leaves change in colors
Just as the seasons change and the leaves fall, so too do our lives go through cycles of growth and decay.

And then I will be with you
Despite the fleeting nature of our reunion, I take comfort in the fact that we will always be connected in some way.

I will be there one last time now
As our time together draws to a close, I vow to cherish and savor every moment we have left.

I lost my fear of falling
No matter what obstacles I may face in the future, I am no longer afraid of failure or the unknown.

I will be with you
Even after I am gone, my memory and my legacy will continue to live on.
