About two years ago, in a suicide note, I told my family to play this at my funeral. Now, coming back to it healthy and doing so much better, I can't help but cry. I never thought a song could have two totally different meanings to me until now. Thanks, MCR.

[lena-njpx]

It kills me to think that people think MCR is a suicidal band. Their music has given people the strength to live. This song is no different.

[KommSusserTd]

director: fine, Gerard, how many emos do you want to cry?
Gerard: yes.

[avamaria]

“If you promise not to cry”

me: *starts immensely balling*

[orlandovr]

Gerard wants to make music.
Mikey wants to make music.
Frank wants to make music.
Ray wants to make music.
...
They should make a band...
...
...That's a great idea...

[sylviatong]

Gee wrote this song for us. He loved his fans. He knew his music had saved so many people, especially those who were in depression and needed support. MCR would end one day, he always knew that and he wanted his fans to be strong.

"Just remember you will always burn as bright"

[likaism]

you never let them take the light behind your eyes. welcome back.

[goyangeden]

guys they're back
they're really back

edit : this is an edit to say that after all these years waiting, i finally saw them yesterday

[grayanimates]

*If they don't play this at my funeral I'm not dying*

[ericperry]

If I ever met MCR, I would only be able to get two words out: "thank you."

[hana-umdo]

At the end of the song, when Gerard repeats 'The light behind your eyes' it gets softer each time, and further away. Like he's singing you to sleep, and you start to hear him less as you drift away...

'If I could be with you tonight, I would sing you to sleep'

[onion]

People are saying that they're crying over this but I feel like I'm too sad to even cry

[bellejade]

My literature leacher gave us an assignment to write a short story based off a song. I chose this song and it made her cry.

[runefaustblack]

My cousin died today.

He was one. He'd been born with an atrophied spine. When I saw him last month, he didn't have enough strength to lift his hands. He could barely breathe by himself.

It was nobody's fault, other than luck's. If a couple chromosomes didn't arrange in the specific way they did, my cousin would still be toying in his bed, able to lead a normal life.

Rest in peace, Marcio.

[sqwirt]

It's funny.

People are so quick to call us wrist slitters, constantly making jokes about the music we listen to.
Despite all of the harassment we go through, we still come together as one and lift each other up.

It's amazing and an honour to be apart of such a community.
No matter where someone is from, or how far away they are from one another, we still chose to help eachother.
And look,
It doesn't matter if you're a maggot, apart of the clique, a Killjoy, or if you never shout never.

The comments on this video alone show how strong we all are as one.

So stay strong guys, we've already come so far.

[megannichols]

“You can’t be stronger in the dark” that hit me hard.

[ZeldaHyrulian]

After a year I finally decided to revisit this song....ended up crying but it made me happy in a way. Definitely of the most beautiful MCR songs.

[rockmusicchallenge]

Gee is really feeling the words he's singing. So much he changed his style of singing a little bit in this song

[pensluo]

"If you promise not to cry" *completely loses it and bawls eyes out*

[lesmarsh]

I'm not gonna cry this time
I'm not gonna cry this time
I'm not gonna cry this time
I'm not gonna cry this time


*begins to sob hysterically*
