I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
Threw the day-old tea from the cup
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
Memories of a life that's been loved
Took the "Get well soon" cards and stuffed animals
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
Dad always told me, "Don't you cry when you're down"
But, mum, there's a tear every time that I blink
Oh, I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up but I know
A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
So, I'll sing hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back
He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John said he'd drive, then put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
I hope that I see the world as you did cause I know
A life with love is a life that's been lived
So, I'll sing hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go, when God takes you back
He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"
Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
You got to see the person I have become
Spread your wings and I know
When God took you back, he said, "Hallelujah, you're home"

Cancer - My Chemical Romance
Turn away
If you could get me a drink
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colours
My sisters and my brothers
Still I will not kiss you
Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Now turn away
Cause I'm awful just to see
Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body
Oh, my agony
Know that I will never marry
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say (If you say)
Goodbye today (Goodbye today)
I'd ask you to be true (Cause I'd ask you to be true)
Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
If you could get me a drink
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colours
My sisters and my brothers
Still I will not kiss you
Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Now turn away
Cause I'm awful just to see
Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body
Oh, my agony
Know that I will never marry
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say (If you say)
Goodbye today (Goodbye today)
I'd ask you to be true (Cause I'd ask you to be true)
Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
