You came to my door
Forced your way in
You took and you stole
What I did not want to give
You left pain in your wake
And think you’re gonna stay
Well listen up cuz I got something to say

I first met her when I was young
She has cancer
He’s blind to the fact that she’s sick
He sees the beauty in her – not scared of her. Most kids are scared. This kid saw the beauty in her, even without her hair

Senior prom – when no one would take her

Then he marries her, knowing that it could come to an end
And then he yells out -Hey Big C
He meets her when he’s young – 6 or 7, walking to school, buys the lemonade
Years have passed, he sees her in the hallway. He’s a rocker. Asks if she’s going to the prom, she says no cuz she’s been sick so he Asks her to the prom
He makes it to the big stage. No one ever thought he’d go far,
When you look up at him, you’ll see a shining star
He could have had any girl in the world, but his heart belonged to the lemonade girl.

Character is cancer
She’s in the bed
They look into each other’s eyes
say their goodbyes, -- he screams out:

You came to my door
Forced your way in
You took and you stole
What I did not want to give
You left pain in your wake
And think you’re gonna stay
Well listen up cuz I got something to say


HEY BIG C, look at me – cuz

You’re like the devil / satan / evil in a cell
Trying to eat away at me from inside / my insides
They may call ya Big C, but who you are to me
Is Nothin’ but a thief, a taker in society / in my society


You’re nothing but a killer, a waste, a taker in society
