This cancer is killing me
As much as it is killing you
If it takes you away from me
I don't know what I would do
Just try for some peace of mind
But it's so hard to find
It's so hard to just sit and wait
And wait some more
Staring at the door
Skim through the magazines
Pretend like everything's gonna be allright
Although you know it won't be
Unstable
It's hard to be the one who's strong
He's always got a shoulder to cry on
He's got a shoulder for me
When I'm about to break down
You're (Who's ?) never around
But maybe it's better that way
You've got enough to worry about
You've got your hands full, don't you
Don't you see?
This cancer is killing me
Like it's killing you
Mentally
Unstable
And all I really want to know if she's gonna be allright
'cause she's been in there a long, long time
And I've been out there losing my mind
You're scared
You're frightened
You're so afraid of what he may say
But you try and be brave
For me sitting impatiently
In the lobby of emergency
You burst on through that door with this look on your face
I've never seen before
You explode into endless tears
Whisper in my ear
Baby
Baby
I've only got one more year
