My Chemical Romance – Famous Last Words
My Chemical Romance – Famous Last Words
There are songs that I listen to a bit and eventually I am able to shift the lyrics / rewrite them to change their meaning.
Now I know
That I can’t make you stay
So give me a chance
So give me a chance
So give me…
And I know
There’s nothing I can say
To change that part
To change that part
To change…
So many
Bright lights that cast a shadow
But can I speak
You know that I understand it
We’re incomplete
A truth that’s so demanding
We get so weak
A fact that’s so demanding
I can’t speak
CH: I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I’ll be forgiven
What is it I can say to stop you from going home
Can you see?
My eyes are dark as night
‘Cause I’m out here on the other side
And I wish that you were nearer
And I’m so weak
You know that I understand it
We’re incomplete
A truth that’s so demanding
I get so weak
CHORUS x 2
These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me
I said
I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I’d never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
CHORUS
So there we have it. Some slight changes just to change the meaning up a little bit.

Oh I love it! The changes work so well and actually, I think I prefer it. this is one of my fave tunes but I have always felt the lyrics jarred for the meaning I wnted to take – you however, capture it perfectly.
