[Verse 1] The moment changed everything With one word nobody wants to hear Cancer… And suddenly tomorrow Isn’t looking quite so clear Turns your whole world upside down Knocks the air right out of ya Like a sucker punch straight to the gut Leaving you wondering how you’ll ever get back up Everyone knows someone who’s faced it Some know it better than they should I’ve seen it firsthand a time or two And wouldn’t wish it on anyone if I could I’ve watched people go through treatment Then show up to work the very same day Just to get up and do it all again Some souls you’d never have a clue Others wear it in every move Both are heartbreaking No one should have to carry that weight [Pre-Chorus] The weight of not knowing tomorrow Will this be the end Will it come back Will I have to keep fighting Again and again [Chorus] Fuck cancer For the hell it puts us through For the ones still fighting And the ones we had to lose For the ones who made it through But still carry all that fear For every soul who’s heard that word And every heart that holds them near Fuck cancer I know it’s an ugly word But nothing about this is fair And sometimes that’s the only word For the pain that’s living there [Verse 2] Cancer doesn’t just hurt the one who has it It hurts the ones who watch them go through it I’ve watched someone I love Take their last breath right in front of me Some go peacefully Some don’t My dad didn’t And that’s a horrible way To watch someone’s life come to an end It’s the devil… I swear it is Holding everyone in a chokehold Taunting you with tomorrow Like some never-ending battle Dragging you down to the pits of hell And back again and again [Chorus] Fuck cancer For the hell it puts us through For the ones still fighting And the ones we had to lose For the ones who made it through But still carry all that fear For every soul who’s heard that word And every heart that holds them near Fuck cancer I know it’s an ugly word But nothing about this is fair And sometimes that’s the only word For the pain that’s living there [Bridge] Stage one Stage two Stage three It doesn’t matter Because every battle matters One case may not look like another That doesn’t make the fear any less real Some survive But what people don’t realize Is they still wake up wondering Will it come back Because that’s the thing It can… and it does Even when it’s at bay Those waves still come crashing in Like the sea It’s always there in your mind Will this be the one That wipes away my tomorrow Will I have to fight again Or watch someone I love drift away [Final Chorus] Fuck cancer For the hell it puts us through For the ones still fighting And the ones we had to lose For every soul who’s survived it And every soul still holding on For the ones who never made it home And the ones who carry on Fuck cancer For every tomorrow filled with fear For every battle fought in silence And every goodbye we didn’t want to hear [Outro] So be kind to others Because you never know Who’s walking around With that fucking C word Or who’s standing beside someone Trying to help them make it through Some are still fighting Some are still grieving And some are just trying To learn how to breathe again After the air was taken Right out of them Fuck cancer…
