Lyrics
Cancer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I had it all worked out in my head til now,
But the plans we made were all in vain.
These tiny drops tick like a clock,
Just counting down until you’re not not around
She reaches over and takes my hand cause she knows I can’t let her go.
This cancer’s taken all that she’s got, but someone has to be strong
Sympathy cards and flowers come most every hour
With consoling words that don’t heal the hurt.
I understand the condolences but
It’s hard when every word breaks my heart again
She reaches over and takes my hand
Cause she knows I can’t let her go.
This cancer’s taken all that she’s got, but someone has to be strong
I’m gonna need you to know that I am nothing without you're love.
I don’t think life without you is a life worth living at all.
