Cancer Lyrics by Silver Lining (CAN)

Expiration Date

2017

When you got sick I ignored it
Couldn't handle the feelings that came with accepting it
I thought about myself, grasping at the distractions inside
The day I found out, you were crying into dads arms in the dark living room, no sunlight, no light in that room
You told me what was going on, and all I felt was a peculiar blank numb
Walked out, got in my car and drove
Drove and cried, and cried, and cried
Drove and cried
And cried
Cancer, please don't take her away x4
I never realised how stupid and small my problems were until that day
I never realised there was a timeline, and that you would be taken away
I imagined me would both be old and grey
Something that was too far away
Couldn't accept that eveyone has their day
Life is cruel that way
The chemo hit you hard and your hair felt out, and with a brave face you hit back harder
Wearing everything on your shoulder
Before I ran away, the other side of the world
To bury myself in drugs and girls
You had your surgery and I watched you in that hospital bed, surrounded by all of us
Broken but not defeated
A new found love of life
You're stronger than you know mum, the strongest person I know
Keep fighting and hitting back
And I'll keep cherishing every moment we have
I'll keep cherishing every moment we have
I'll cherish every moment we have
Keep fighting and hitting back
Cancer, please don't take her away
