No. But then, he probably wouldn't tell us if he did.
I think the meaning to this song is completely obvious.
It's not hard to understand.
Someone's dying of cancer.
I saw a video of this live, and that is the only song that can make me cry.
. . .but only when played live. Is that weird? I don't know. But it did. He seems so sincere when he's singing it, puts so much feeling into it.
But my sister having cancer probably didn't help the situation much. . .
ummmm... this song is sooo pretty, i love it. gerard sings it like it is him that is dying, not someone else. not even someone close to him. like he was dying with unfinished buisness, without a full tase of life, way before his time. the patient is probably talking to a loved one, like a sister or mom. he is probably just coming to real terms with his upcoming passing, which makes it so emotional. i'm tearing up right now listening to the song!
I love this song so much. It's just so beautiful and true. Gerard just has this way of putting so much emotion into his voice. It almost makes you feel like you're there witnessing all of the things he sings about. For the first week I had this album, I would cry every time I listened to this song. It really touches me, considering my Grandmother/fath died of cancer. And as far as I know, I was the last person to see my grandmother alive.
But anyway, the meaning is pretty much described in the title. It's about a guy (probably The Patient) suffereing from cancer and all of the effects of chemotheropy and so on. He's basically saying goodbye to his loved ones and telling them to be honest with him.
This some is obviously about Cancer, its about being the person dying from it.
For me this song shows that it can happen to anyone, it's not a case of it will never happen to me, becasue it can. And for many of us it will.
although i havent had Cancer myself, someone in my family has. Luckly they survived it.
This song shows that the patient knows he is going to die, and is trying to prepare himself for it by trying to distance himself from his loved ones.

its about how the patient is suffering from cancer and it sounds like he's either saying his last words or writing his will and went through chemo "Im just soggy from the chemo"
this song is obveusly about someone who has cancer and how they are diying and affraid to say goodbye. i think this is an important song because there are many people who can relate to this and even though it may make you cry it is important to get the word out and be able to relate. i can relate to this song because my aunt had cancer and i remember crying and hoping. so did my very close friends mom and we would sit and cry together and after that it came back.
A boy in my year died of cancer in july so it always reminds me of him which is sad...

From the mention of Chemo I thought it was someone's final conversations with their loved ones after a battle with Cancer. I see the song as very emotional and upsetting and I always feel drained after listening to it. It's my favourite MCR song.
May sound strange but this is the first song I heard all the way through by MCR. It was on a recording of a live show, as soon as I heard it I was hooked, I watched the whole show and then watched it from the begining seven times... That took 3 1/2 hrs at nightime, until I fell asleep, Lol. Then I went straight out and bought the CD. This song was the start of my obsession and I adore it.

my.gerard.romance...:
TO be honest, this song is a song that actually touches you. When I first saw the film clip, i realised that the song is so sad but true.
ye you no it real touchs u in side because nearly everyone does or did now someone with cancer!
This is a great song, I liked it sooooo much, when the cd came out I was rehearsing a play where my character died of cancer, and I always used this song to get in the mood. I love this song.
