A song about cancer

lyrics

You refused to go to the doctor
when you started getting sick
And dad, you know just how much I love you
but sometimes you can be such a dick whoa

Cause magnets and herbal tea don't cure cancer
I think we all are clear
If you refuse chemotherapy
you won't make it through the year

I remember sleeping on your couch each weekend
you'd wake up early and cook me breakfast
I always thought I'd make it back to see
you again
But the last time we spoke I could barely understand you
at all
I couldn't stop crying I was stuck at work
when mom told me to call

Cause magnets and herbal tea don't cure cancer
I think we all are clear
If you refuse chemotherapy
you won't make it through the year
Cause magnets and herbal tea don't cure cancer
the doctors have been clear
If you refuse chemotherapy
you won't make it through the year

Dad you taught me to play
stairway to heaven and you
gave me this guitar
I really fucking wish you could see me now
cause you'd see I've come so far

I don't really know if I believe in heaven
but I hope you're not in pain
And I don't really know if I believe in heaven
but I hate that you left this way

And I don't really know if I believe in heaven
but I hope you're not afraid
And I don't really know if I believe in heaven
but I hate that you left this way
