Lyrics:
Step one, you say, We need to talk.
He walks, you say, Sit down. It's just a talk.
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

The more you grow up the more you understand the lyrics of sad songs.

I'm not sure whats worse...the fact that the world feels empty without you....or the fact that I know I will never accept that you're no longer in this world.

I listened to this song on repeat in 2019, falling apart after losing my husband to an addiction. We were both addicted but I chose to get sober, though I begged him to stop he didn't. We soon grew apart, I felt every pain. There was no changing him there was only fighting. Soon the fighting became a fight to save my life. So many times I wanted to relapse just to be closer to him. I watched us turn into people I didn't recognize, he went missing and only his skeletal remains were found. Five years later, I'm still sober. I come back here to read the comments and hope to read stories with happy endings. Keep fighting, life is worth the living. God bless. 🛐🙏🏽💟

My son killed himself almost 7 months ago. He battled depression and anxiety for over half his life. He was in counseling with both a psychiatrist and psychologist. He turned 20 the day before.
Please know that there are sadly some things that you cannot change.
Take care and talk to others.
Suicide is a horrible way to lose someone. It is so hard not to second guess everything. He clearly had friends that love him as you do.
The memories and love will be with you always. I hope you find comfort in that fact.
I’m going to listen to the song and release some sorrow before I have a friend come over.
Read all the words in the video. And follow them.

I remember when my close friend killed himself. It was the toughest time in my life. He was only 12 at the time and his dad really abused him, and some days he would go without food. I remember getting told about it and feeling devastated, but I felt bad about myself, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I could have done to help him, and it has for the last few years. I’m currently 14 and there is not a day that doesn’t go by that I don’t think about him. I’ll always remember his smile, and the time we got caught drinking beers in my garage. I loved you Tom like brother.
I remember reading his note that he left out on the table before he left. All it said was “it’s not your fault. I just wasn’t meant to be here. Just don’t get beat up over me. You’re all better off without me.” Reading that cracked my heart. I wanted to tell him how much he meant to me, and how he was the brightest thing in my life. This was always his favourite song and he always listened to it in the morning on the way to school. Tom, I just want to say that wherever you are, I hope you fit in there, and get the love you truly deserved.

We are all not in the same boat..we are in the same storm. Some have yachts, some have canoes, and some are drowning..be kind and help when you can.

I lost a friend yesterday. Didn't see it coming. I wish I was there when he needed me. He always was for me.

Stop asking "who's listening" or "still listening", we never stopped listening

7 years Christian. 7 years since you took your life. 7 years since I've seen you. I would have stayed up with you all night if I knew the signs that were in front of my face. I miss you so much and I will see you when He let's me. High school wasn't the same without you and I will never forget you.
I love and miss you so much Christian

Lyrics:
Step one, you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left, and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you
And where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life

The older we got the more we realized how deep the meaning of this song was.

I'm only 17 and this January I lost my dad from a drug overdose. I never knew he was doing drugs this was so sudden but he was the kindest dad ever, I guess he just had some problems, I love you dad I'll stay strong for you.
EDIT: It's been three years since I posted this and the support and attention on this comment has been unreal everyone. I'm in a lot better of a place now than where I was back then, time is definitely one the best medicines. It'll always hurt to think about, but having good people in your life really is key. Keep going and don't give up, even if it seems that all hope is lost because things will eventually get better, which everyone's immense positivity help me realize. I can't thank anyone who left a kind comment enough for the sincere words, you guys have no idea what that meant to me I never expected this much attention. Thank you all so much and continue to stay strong!

This song means so much to me, I listened to it so often on the radio. I remember we'd drive long nights sometimes, just listening to these kinds of songs all the time. But I never knew why the song would make me cry, until now. Because the song, to me, is saying there is ALWAYS someone who will care. Even if you haven't met them yet, they're there waiting to meet you one day. And I'm glad that I never ended it, because I have an amazing boyfriend who deeply cares for me and makes me feel like life is truly worth it. If I had ended it when I planned, I would've never met him at all.

I know: At the very moment I'm writing these sentences, there are already 82,012 comments to this video. I might be too late, because no one ever will read this. But I have to do this. For my brother. 13 years ago, I was 17, my oldest brother just got 30. (Disclaimer: I was always the little brother, of course. Always too young to hang out with the friends of my older "cooler" brothers.) But when I got 16/17 he accepted me as a real man. Brother. "semi-mature"-guy. From 2005 to 2007 we did a lot of things together. He invited me to his home. When he did this the first time, it was one of the proudest moments of my life. Hanging out with the real dudes. Wow. You can't imagine how proud I felt. :) In 2007 my brother had to go the doctor. He had breathing problems. Long story short: He was diagnosed with lung cancer. Incurable. His lung cancer was so "rare", even doctors from the US (Hopkins Medicine School? I'm not really sure) wanted to analyze his illness. (I swear: This is no bragging. This is just the truth and extremely sad.) He knew that he will die. We all knew. In the last months he made the best out of it. We both did. We played a lot of guitar and sang together. And so the circle is complete. :) The last song we played together was this one here. We both sang. And I played the guitar. I think we did it roundabout 25 times. We stopped because we had to smoke. Yeah, he had lung cancer. He shouldn't smoke of course. But in his last days he didn't care. Nevertheless, after the last repetition of the song and when we smoked the last cigarrette: I cried as fuck. He didn't. He was so strong and happy that we shared these last "drunken moments" together. We made the best of these last days. And now: After 13 years I can finally write about it. I love you, my brother. And I will never forget you. I promise. Jani, mach's gut. Ich liebe dich. Please folks, I don't need a like/thumbsup/whatever. But please dot it for my brother. So that maybe some other people will read this and give a little smile to my brother in heaven. Love you! And: Thank you, The Fray! (Sorry: I'm not a native speaker. Here are definitely a lot of grammar/vocabulary fails in the text.)
