Lyrics

Vs.1
Alone, in a cold gray room
Tasting metal air, in a cancer tomb
A lump, had cursed my breast
And the milk of life, was now filled with death
?No visitors? was my name
only pity stares, until your music came

Pre
Your words, your songs, they gave me life
When I couldn?t smile, you helped me fight
The darkness is past, I live today
But there?s one thing that still remains

Chorus
How you made me feel
That?s what I?ll remember
Feel, until my last September

Vs. 2
Alone, in a crowded room
Full of screaming fans, but they had no clue
You were on your final walk
That?s when I felt that I had to talk
You asked my name, and it meant the world
You let me tell my tale, of a miracle cure

Pre
I thought that I, would just explode
My tears, they came, I lost control
You let me cry my grief away
And this one thing remains

Chorus 2x
How you made me feel
That?s what I?ll remember
Feel, ?til my last September

Bridge
When the crowds, no longer chant your name
When you live your last day of fame
The legacy of your life remains
And this will never change


Chorus Out
