[Intro]
Now, I know that I can't make you stay, but where's your heart?
But where's your heart? But where's your-
And I know there's nothing I can say to change that part
To change that part, to change...

[Verse 1]
So many bright lights, they cast a shadow, but can I speak?
Well, is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A life that's so demanding, I get so weak
A love that's so demanding, I can't speak

[Chorus]
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
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

[Verse 2]
Can you see, my eyes are shining bright, 'cause I'm out here
On the other side of a jet black hotel mirror, and I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A love that's so demanding, I get weak

[Chorus]
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
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
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
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

[Guitar Solo]

[Post-Chorus]
These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me, I say!

[Bridge]
I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
(How can I see, I see you lying)
'Cause I see you lying next to me
(How can I see, I see you lying)
With words I thought I'd never speak
(How can I see, I see you lying)
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
(How can I see, I see you lying)
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead!

[Chorus]
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead!) Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead!) I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead!) Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

[Outro]
(Or dead!) I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world, alone
(Or dead!) Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

My Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romance is an alt/punk/hardcore rock band that produced four studio albums and a compilation album over their initial twelve-year lifespan from 2001-2013. They then went on a six-year hiatus, until Halloween of 2019, when they announced a long-awaited revival of the band. They have touched the hearts of millions through their honest, raw lyrics and inspirational stories.

The band started after front-man and founder Gerard Way witnessed the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City. He felt compelled to empower people and make a difference in the world. As a result, he wrote the band’s first song, “Skylines And Turnstiles.” He shared the lyrics with his friend Matt Pelissier, who agreed to be the then-unnamed band’s drummer. Gerard then recruited Ray Toro, whom he used to be in a band with as the lead guitarist, and eventually invited his brother Mikey Way to be the bassist, and Frank Iero to be the rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, was released in 2002 and was recorded in Matt Pelissier’s attic. Because of this, some of the songs are lovingly referred to as the “attic demos.” The album’s copyright warning
