    I am from Russia and I am writing the text through a translator. But I want to say that I listened to the song in 2006, I was 18 and I was very depressed. the feeling that you are alone with this damn evil world. that's why I cry when I find out that young guys commit suicide because they see no way out. God, this is the most unfair thing in life - because in this state a person does not understand why he is deceiving himself. a loving wife, the smile of your children, a warm relationship with the aging parents with whom you finally made friends. guys life can be shit, but it can be wonderful too! just believe, seek support, no matter how bad it is. but do everything to solve the problems, everything will be fine. beautiful song that makes you want to cry. So that I don't read this, I hug you and give you love friend, please be happy.

    Fuck, man... CZcams, I both hate you and love you for randomly recommending this song to me... I remember being a teenager at 15, dealing with suicidal thoughts and self-harm.
    Remember having this song on repeat, and I remember listening to this song with my first-ever girlfriend.
    At 25, I tried taking my own life after years of self-harm, alcohol and depression... I am now 27, and I feel much better now. In August, I will get to be uncle to a little girl. These things would never have happened to me if I had succeeded with the attempt when I was 25.
    For anyone here, it all gets better, but the biggest step is to reach out for help. It's not going to be easy, but you will thank yourself for it.

    For anyone who doesn't understand, this song isn't to put anyone in a suicidal mood or encourage you to commit suicide. Matt wrote this song after one after one of his close friends became withdrawn, lonely and ended his young life. Nobody knew he was depressed and nobody was willing to listen, then when he was gone he realised that he should of just listened and maybe he could of been here today. For anyone thinking of ending it, please don't! You have people who love you, through everything.

    For the black eyes and bleeding lips
    When it's hard to forget
    How many lies we told
    Or how we'd grow
    Before I said goodbye
    So let's scrape our knees
    On the playground
    It's not your fault
    You feel okay
    It's too late in the day
    It's not your fault
    You feel betrayed
    And can't come now to play
    I never listened to a word
    You never said
    I never listened to a word
    You never said
    Wasting the hours now
    We're all suckers for tragedies
    And start this over again
    And you bring us to our knees
    As sunrise comes
    And the story will sell
    A few hundred papers
    So we'll follow you up
    It's not your fault
    You feel okay
    It's too late in the day
    It's not your fault
    You feel betrayed
    And can't come out to play
    I never listened to a word
    You never said
    I never listened to a word
    You never said
    So raise your hands up high
    And let this rain pour on
    So raise your hands up high
    And wash us away
    Like innocence and childbirth
    You look just like your mother
    And you look just like your father
    Forgive him, our father
    Your son is smiling
    So lay roses around you

Similar story for me -- I've struggled with depression, suicidal thoughts and anxiety almost all of my life until today still, as a teen my parents never really wanted me to go to therapy or take medications partly out of our own economical issues and partly due to a (legitimate, imo) fear of overreliance on prescription drugs. Now that I've gotten some financial independence and am living on my own I took the initiative to appoint a psychologist and psychiatrist and it's helped me a lot to cope with my own issues, understand relationships better etc.

    One of my friends at college was reported as "lost" for 3 days since monday, yesterday he was found dead because of suicide. Wasn't that much of a close friend but i wish i really was. Never had a clue of how depressed he really was. It could have been a different ending if he received the deserved help and attention and if i knew of what he was really going through. RIP man.

I felt so alone and broken and wanted to give up and thank God I didn't because I wouldn't have met the sweetest and most amazing woman last year who brought me back to my old, happy self.

      Ooooh! I know it's been six years since you commented but I didn't find this video until today. I thought she didn't like or accept him or something and he was depressed at the same time. So she threw out all his stuff because she wants him to not be the way he is (liking certain stuff, so that's why she throws out as an example, the posters) while he's readying to jump because he can't deal with his life (bullies and the mother, perhaps more).
      But now when I found your comment it makes more sense, because why would she throw out his school clothing, he needs it (assuming she doesn't know he's not going to come home)
