    Lyrics to "How To Save A Life" :
    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
    CHORUS:
    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 pray to God he hears you
    CHORUS:
    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
    CHORUS:
    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
    CHORUS:
    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
    CHORUS:
    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
    CHORUS:
    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

    I once had a friend (I don't even know him that well actually) who texted me, "can we meet up? I need to talk to someone cos I'm thinking of suicide". I said okay but I panicked so I messaged friend who studied therapy. He gave me 3 advices that I will always remember:
    1. Your role is only to listen, get him to talk and process his own feelings.
    2. Best advice you can give is help him find resources to get professional help. Do not give life advices.
    3. Whatever happens, his happiness and his life is not your responsibility. Do the best you can to help him but don't let his emotions drag you down with it

He wasn't wrong it will be five years but all we can do is listen....

      Being a suicidal person who's gone through countless therapists, psychiatrists and etc, here's some other advice for you. Don't take advice from therapists on how to handle a situation. 99% don't give a shit and the way they "listen" is extremely patronizing. The patient is a paycheck.

      @@mikeg6285 I'm not a therapist, and I don't have a ton of life experience because I'm only 20. I have learned that those 3 things can be helpful just from helping my friends from hardship. The most important thing is just showing up (emotionally, physically, however you can). Sometimes the friend is on the other side of the country, and all you can do is sit on the phone with them in their sorrow. Any effort is worth it. Pushing off the end for even a single day is worth it. All I ask is that we stay long enough to see the sunrise, and then perhaps the next, and the next after that. People forget that life is worth living for the little things, like friendship and sunrises.

    One of my friend's neighbors was going to kill themselves by overdosing
    Though I had never met her (my friend had moved to Idaho) myself, I was terrified for the young girl and convinced my friend to let me talk to her
    She had a rough home life and was ready to end it all
    I talked to her for 2 hours and finally managed to convince her to calm down, not take the pills, and go to sleep
    Afterwards I turned on the radio and this song immediately started playing.
    I did know how to save a life :)

    My best friend was being followed, but she had alerted the cops days before and was assured she would be safe. Her best friend was sick, so she went to the store to buy some cold medicine, even though we told her not to. She said she would be fine, and I let her go, joking with her like always and saying goodnight.
    She never came home. She was found the next day, dead. Her stalker was taken to jail, but I wish I'd known how to save her life. I know I could have. But I didn't...

She did slit herself, but her uncle heard her fall, found her and rushed her to the ER in time. It is a scary thing to have going on. I failed, but she at least didn't die for my mistake.

    I'd say this song is about someone who's close friend who either died from or was going through a drug addiction. The narrator was trying to help him through his addiction but the friend denied it, but now it's too late to do anything as the friend's passed away or he's too deep in his addiction. I won't go into details but if you look at the lyrics you can piece it together.

    As a firefighter of 8+ years, I have pushed on 38 dead people’s chest, only 7 have had a second chance. Each time the bigger number gets higher, I listen to this song, it makes me think:
    What did I do wrong?
    What if I did ____ different?
    What if I was there just a bit faster?
    What if I was already at the firehouse when we got the call?
    (And much more questions flood my brain)
    And I’m sorry to the 31 people that didn’t get a second chance, and no matter how you pasted and what your life was, I hope you are resting peacefully now.
    (Promise to myself)
    Each time I push on someone’s chest and they do not get to have a second chance, come back here and ask a question.
    But at the end of the question, tell yourself this:
    ‘the only promise of living is death. No matter how hard you try to save everyone, every life must come to an end, and that’s the beauty of living’.

I was there with her to the end and many have said over the last 33 years that there was nothing more that I could have done. I will forever feel like I failed Melanie. So I know what you mean. I will repeat to you what was told to me. Remember the ones you did save, because it's not that you didn't try with the others. You have them every fighting chance to live, not giving up when they already have. Don't give on it like I did,the fire service needs good people, not the gloryboy types but the dedicated. Do not ever allow a Melanie to change what you should do. Stay strong brother and keep jumping on the truck. Those you lost would want it that way, and the ones you didn't,well, they would not be here with out you.

      Dear number 32,
      I’m sorry, I wish I could have stoped the bleeding, I wish you still had your legs attached. I’m sorry it had to end that way.
      There was nothing I could do, I’m happy I got to be there by your side when you passed, I’m happy I made it easier for you.

Just like their mental health is important,so is ours. I definitely miss my best friend, but the toxicity was too much to handle for me either. May us and they themselves meet the person who is right for us. Cheers!

    A few months ago, my friend used to face time me a lot. I was confused because they usually call me like twice a week. But I later found out that a lot of not so great things were happening in her life, I realized she called me so she can have some sort of joy. She doesn't call me every day anymore but every time I miss a call from her I feel so bad and guilty. I used to hate her in elementary school but little did I know that she'd become someone I talk to often and became close to her. She doesn't know it, but i care so much about her. Every talk and conversation makes me hope she stays away from those negative thoughts. Moral of the story, always be there for your friend. They might have something going on in their life and you're the only comforting thing for them. And for the person I was talking about, I love you. I may not show it but you are someone that matters to me, love you ❤

    I've recently lost my best friend, he was more like an older brother to me. December 25th of 2021 we would talk about planning to celebrate after graduation. He always says he wants us (his circle of friends) to be complete when that time comes. January 2022, two weeks later, I returned home from vacation and I haven't heard a word from him (not knowing he was already ill that time). I thought he was just busy, so I just sent him a message, but never responded. A few days more, I woke up to get my phone and saw a post saying he passed away. I refused to believe it so I went to their house. There I found him, lying down on the bed pale. *"Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend.*
    You said we'd drink after graduation before parting ways, but why did you go first?
    *Somewhere along in the bitterness, and I would have stayed up with you all night."*
    The guilt, knowing I could have been there for him.
    So for anyone out there, meet your friends like it's your last. Cherish them.

That same morning I woke up earlier than normal, but being the lazy piece of shit I was, I went back to sleep. Next thing I know I'm waking up to my mum screaming. If I had just gotten out of bed and gone out to the living room to greet my dad, I might have been there when he had his heart attack and maybe called the ambulance. Maybe he would've survived. I'll never know for sure, and I don't think I'll ever forgive myself completely.

    This makes me wish I knew what to do but now it’s too late and he’s gone. I miss him so much I hope he’s in a better place. Love you Austin
