This song by My Chemical Romance almost made me cry after looking at the lyrics. Before I heard the song, I heard something on MTV a while back that the lead singer wrote it for his father, who had died from cancer.

And the lyrics.
My Chemical Romance wrote:
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 colors,
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,
Good-bye today,
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...
Yeah, almost made me cry. You can go ahead and laugh at me...
