[Munkee7777]

God, all these poor people. All of you i want you to know i hope to god you don't lose those that u love. I can remember times where i've wanted to kill myself, but hell is to much of a price to pay. I remember when i was a kid and i died. I suffocated. I don't know how they did it, but they managed to bring me back. Its a dark place. I wish you all the best.

[Jazzypoo1239]

@Munkee7777 Trust me, I hope my best friend is okay. And ty for the kind and touching comment....<3 :]

[Jazzypoo1239]

My best friend Danny, 17, engaged to the sweetest boy ever, is in the hospital because his fiance's cousins beat him and ran him over with their car, his fiance tho, hasnt left his side yet. He crashed yesterday, and if he does again, its fatal. Me, his fiance, our best friend, and his family are praying like hell. If you thumbs uhp, That counts as a prayer. Please...We cant lose him.....

[madi1025ily]

@Jazzypoo1239 our poor danny.... :\ he needs to get well... ♥ i need him in my life.

[sasusakulover45]

My friend is only thirteen and he's tried yesterday I'm scared I can't lose him he's me best guy friend :'(

[YoshiLoverx10]

I always feel a tear coming on once they reach the part when it goes: "I would have stayed up all night Had I known how to save a life" :,|

[TheSweeterTheBetter]

It sucks, I always go hunting for new music when Im bored. I have recently discovered:

The click 5

The Fray :)

The Icarus Account

And The letter black

I cant chose which one is my fave! Help me out!

[SparklelovesTyler]

Is this bands songs based on suicide thoughts? i mean no offense to nobody but i cant help but wonder everytime i hear this song (btw, i love this song<3)

[J39365CP]

These comments are just so sad. I only listened to this song cuz i lost a friend. D:

[MusicBeMine]

RIP Gene-- you meant the world to me. the only adult I trusted to talk to.

if u guys check out the YouTube video I uploaded today, the last 2-3 minutes I talk about Gene... I love you. why did u jaw to take your life? :'-(

[stlouisrocker100]

I remeber me and my grandma listening to this song all the time. I listened to it a lot after she lost her battle to lung cancer when I was only twelve years old. I love you grandma. We miss you everyday. R.I.P.

[LilRavenDoggie]

AnotherComment: Kassie and me go a long way back....she had died today from suicide, haveing surgery to fix her made it worse....i wish i was with her, Suicide is not the answer.

If i had known how to save a life.

[LilRavenDoggie]

i lost my best friend today....i will listen to this song every day if i have to, to remember her.

R.I.P. Kassie...... i wish i was there with you.

[Zandra1696]

R.I.P BamBam (cat)

[iDanteHDx]

[carebearryr101]

Luckyjamie: I feel bad for u. But sometimes. To some people. Suicide is the answer. I know I've tried...

[LuckyJamie0]

I get a horrible feeling knowing that this song is completely true for me... I lost my friend 6 years ago on this day. Suicide is not the answer... to anything... I love this song, but it kills me inside... R.I.P. Hannah...

[MimiDawn1000]

Maybe he could save my life

[darkskyhalo]

@kayleighandelise Yeah!!!

[Reutmusic99]

I love this song not just because it's beautiful and exciting..

I love it because it touches everyone's heart- who never had been in the situation that he missed a chance to save a life, never mind how..?

[mrriver1991]

The thing is we can't save a life unless you are a true hero. This is not even about death its about a drug abuser who prays to god to make things right then 2 years later he died. All because of his girl friend.

[jayjay199209]

,.everything i hear this song,.,!!my eyes begin tear up,.!! i don't know why,.everytime i play this,.!!i missed my friends,.!!and afraid to lost them,.,!!

[ForProsOnlyGaming]

[hate4love1]

This song actually reminds me of myself and how my bestfriend would be there for me no matter what

[LennasWorld]

Older songs like these accually have meaning.

[UmbreonAndEspeon1]

Can we STOP talking about depressing stuff :(

[violinfreak379]

[Faith1591]

THIS IS MY FAV SONG,and the song is JUST LIKE MEH~like this if this is true for you.

[1stfunnymarshmallow]

[deriznohappehquite]

753rd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[KatieAndSumthin]

I never thought about the lyrics.. now i Have... wow. this is extremely sad.

[evabjorg1]

I love this song Grey's anatomy brought me here ;D

[AwesomeCateAT]

hi can someone please tell me the meaning of this song? its not like im against it but i try to find it. is it tht he lost his friend and his friend isnt being nice or is it... well... can someone explain? thanks!

[BooksRuleAll]

@AwesomeCateAT My personal interpretation is the singer trying to help a friend through a troubled time...

[SuperShawtie111]

When you are alone in the dark God is there to light the way. He works in mysterious ways. Just having faith in him doesn't make it all better. It is through how much that you keep that faith. He doesn't just answer your prayers. If you pray for strength, He gives you obstacles to make you stronger. If you pray for patience, He gives you the opportunity to be patient. If you pray for courage, He gives you opportunities to be courageous. Never lose faith in Him. He will never lose faith in you.

[AwesomeCateAT]

@SuperShawtie111 Amen!

[coreypearson4]

@SuperShawtie111 As opposed to his normal 9-5 job of murdering hungry african babies then i suppose eh? you think somone in depression etc being suicidal finds new fire in life from god? you think he "gives" obstacles to humans so that they can overcome them? and the ones that cant? what happens o them do they burn in hell due to suicide being "illegal" in christianity...i could go on but see, ive known the minds of suicidal people in my lifetime and their last thoughts are never of god,never.

[frejaskov]

I listen to This song Like a million times and cry everytime :'( -3

[Happymeeeeeecheese]

People say to talk to someone you trust if your upset, what if their upset because they have no one too trust?

[HowItDoBabyBoo]

@Happymeeeeeecheese I think that's one of the major factors in the downward spiral.

For anyone in this situation- seek help. Don't try to fight it nor reason with it by yourself. Rarely can you summon the inner strength to overcome it completely. See a life advisor, a counselor, a therapist. Call the prevention hotline. If you're upset, it's better to trust someone else than to trust yourself. The decisions you make are not rational.

It's never the right thing to do, and it's never worth it.

[clondykebarr]

Suicide is a selfish thing to do. Aside religion.

Threatening someone to date won't make them want you more.

If killing yourself is even an "answer" to a solution your problem you are insane.

Now, this song is super great. I love this c: -3

[princessofthesouth7]

People should get help from people they trust if they are having problems, especially if those problems are leading to suicidal thoughts. The people who love you won't be able to help you if you don't tell them. NOTHING or NOONE is worth you taking your own life.

[bibernochris]

i dont see any more sad post thats good

[headbutt1010]

TO ALL DEPRESSED/SUICIDAL PEOPLE!!!!

STOP hurting yourself and dwelling on the past. It's not gonna help! People are out there suffering, crying, starving, and dying and all you can think about is yourself! stop moping "Oh poor me" and all that bullshit! START helping those people! drop a dollar in a donation box, don't litter, be kind to ALL people because you don't know what kind of life they have behind the scenes. So instead of moping, start helping, because other people can heal your heart,

[dadude360]

@headbutt1010 Spoken like someone who has no idea what the hell they're talking about, first off most suicidal people aren't "dwelling on the past" its the present that's the problem, second off telling a suicidal person that they're selfish is not going to make them think "wow your right I should be a better person" its going to make them think "wow your right the world would be better off if I was gone"

[MyEvilapple]

@dadude360 i agree with headbutt1010.

[headbutt1010]

fix it and make it whole again. So please, stop hurting yourself, because not only is it hurting you, it's hurting those around you.

[Lotruley]

i'm only listening to this song because this song was in the background when Justin first kissed a girl.. He said it was magical!

[giffgiffmusic]

I am learning this song so I can sing it on my YouTube channel but it is kind of hard to sing becauae it happened to me and it makes me really sad

[kayleighandelise]

[Koolaiddewz]

@kayleighandelise

[stocker104]

[kayleighandelise]

[MichelleCommentsYou]

@kayleighandelise anyone* why* when* your* to this?*

sorry, pet peeve

[Scathac24]

@kayleighandelise

Its guilt

Everyone has done something they feel remorse for this song is a manefestation of that guilt. That is why you feel like crying. Don't worry it's not just you

[Provenzano100]

@kayleighandelise no

[cameronemma13]

this is probably my favorite song ♥

[sirian345]

good songs bring out the best intentions in people. judging by the comments, this is the best song in the world

[Donh9020]

as much as i love this song, i wish i will never have to sing this in any circumstances about somebody

[Ih8ads]

I Love this song :D

[wish2goback]

Im not asking for thumps im telling a story.

I had a friend who told me every thing in his life. He wanted to date me and i didnt want him. He was rude and he told me that he wants to kill hiself i said don't.

I tryed my best and he killed hiself.

I don't know where i went wrong. I wish i knew how to save a life.

[moneyyea96]

@wish2goback

I've never been to the place where I lost the friend but, I know what it is like to have to deal with someone like that... I have a friend like that... I've saved her more than once... You didn't do anything wrong... You did what you could and that all you were able to do... Don't blame yourself for something that you couldn't change... I don't know about your religion but, I believe that GOD has a reason for everything... Even the pain and death... Stay strong my friend! :)

[wish2goback]

@moneyyea96 Thank you. <33

[moneyyea96]

@wish2goback

Your welcome!!! :)

[wish2goback]

@moneyyea96add me/

[moneyyea96]

@wish2goback

If I knew where the "Add" button was I would... xD Do you mean like, a friend request? Cause I can't find that button either...

[wish2goback]

@moneyyea96 contact.. Its not add its Contact xD

[3xteremeMusicofPros]

@wish2goback you could have at least given him a chance one date is that so hard one date and that might have helped him or even saved his life also it is not being rude to someone if they love you that much that they cant live without at least now you know he was honest about that.

[wish2goback]

@3xteremeMusicofPros i didnt knw he would kill himself

[ZanyTricia17]

Very good song I can listen to this everyday!!!!!

[MrLovesongslover]

i really love this song it remainds me of many years of my life.....

[shanedawsonislyfe]

one of my bestfriend from my childhood commited suicide about 2 months ago.. i wish i knew how to save a life then..

[ablleohs365]

185 people don't know how to save a life.

[foreverXdanni]

my friend died she was in year 2 she went in hospita and she never came out.... ;'(

[fuckyoutoob123]

FUCK YOU YOUTUBE YOU WORTHLESS PEICE OF SHIT!!!!

[ThatsCopyrighted]

this is a really good song, but it makes me sad whenever i read the comments, stay strong people

[xRikkunessx]

This song accompanies me every single day I open my eyes and realise that I lost a friend.

And every single night that I go to sleep and realise that I lost everyone.. </3

[culshaw646]

TUNE!!!!!

[cAtmouSe0413]

ang ganda nmn kaso na mali ako ng klick na dislike sorry ha

[skaterchick9494]

yupp all of those views are from me ;D haha i love this song sooooo much!

[vampire09987]

my friend is very sucidial and i dont know what to do if she died i wouldnt be able to live i would blame myself and i need to find out how to save a life. the last time someone close to me died i held a knife wrist and cried i couldnt do it again ive lost the will to live along with my friend but i found the light and i am praying to god she grabs my hand

[UmbreonAndEspeon1]

@vampire09987 HELP HER!!! Alert her parents and the police so she won't be able to! Even if she doesn't, better safe then sorry!!

[SuperIzzybelle]

@vampire09987 I know how you feel. I have two friends that live here that are extremely suicidal . I have 2 friends that died . I have one friend that moved away from here a while ago. She confessed to be a month or so ago that she was thinking about killing herself. I haven't heard from her since. Her facebooks gone - and she hasn't been on MSN . I don't know what happened but i can only hope shes okay <3 :( Its so hard being in the middle ..

[DaiseyXD]

When the lead singer sings I get chill bumps! (:

[mrslahote00]

i love this song it reminds me of carlise on twilight

[UmbreonAndEspeon1]

As long as your heart is beating, you are meant to be alive.

[neonkatgurl]

@UmbreonAndEspeon1 Not so true....

[smexican671]

this song is so touchin!!! <3<3<3 184 bitches dont want to save lives!!

[DezzarTac]

184 people can't save a life. That's just sad ;(

[UmbreonAndEspeon1]

STOP commiting suicide. STOP cutting, burning, or starving yourselves. START helping to make a change by helping yourself and helping others. Please.

[kilky1]

@UmbreonAndEspeon1 You can't find help. That's why you do it.

[UmbreonAndEspeon1]

@kilky1 If you think I'm the one who hurts myself, you're somewhat wrong. I don't physically harm myself, but I really tend to be hurt emotionally easily. And if you really cannot find help, you haven't looked hard enough or you are being too hard on yourself. Isn't anything better than dying?

[Anaverageguy41]

@UmbreonAndEspeon1 you say it like its an easy thing believe me i help others all the time i don't get any acknowledgement i feel like i'm fading away so instead of this advice why can't you help those who can't help themselves

[UmbreonAndEspeon1]

@Anaverageguy41 What do you mean? I don't understand.

[neonkatgurl]

@UmbreonAndEspeon1 Some people say that because they don't know what its like..they are just cruel..I'm not saying you are.I 1/2 agree with you.Popular people...they are the cruel ones....90% of the time.

[zutaraforev12]

This song Is so sad. I always cry when i hear it... D':

[smoshkie]

Ayo... anyone got a napkin? There's a little small dot on the dislike bar.

[dinodan38]

@smoshkie that was funny like shit

[aqwkingchampion13]

@smoshkie u mean on the like bar

[GabbyVocaloidGirl44]

Wow, I get the underlying meanings to this... It hits me to the core. Beautiful song.

[ScizzorHandz2020]

im a girl 2 this is my brothers gf's brother account

[ScizzorHandz2020]

your life probably aint as bad as their's

[NinjaLove191]

This song reminds me of my best friend cuz we fought and we talked and she said that she was listening to this song and she said that it reminded hur of me and I stated to cry but we talked and now we talk again.

[danceadvicegiver]

this song makes me cry/ about to :( it reminds of one of my grandfathers and he is dying in the next couple years cause there's nothing anyone can do :'(

[livikinz68]

This song makes me play the saddest GA moments in my head and eventually makes me cry. :/ But everyone out there having a rough time in there life, remember someone loves you, stay strong, and know you are a beautiful person.

[Perinlyn]

Reminds me of my sister. Where did I go wrong...

[wATTOsAGA9]

hahahaha

you guys are so funny

[rman2590]

you are truly never alone, execpt for after death because noone can amke that journey with you to your reward in the sky.

[UmbreonAndEspeon1]

Is every single comment on this video a sad one :(

[ellz334]

That Horrible moment when you feel alone in this world just trying to stop time at the best memories you have,truth is most of the time your alone you try to save people you were once close to but they move on and don t give a shit thats the sad thing of all :'(

[UmbreonAndEspeon1]

I must not submit to suicide! I have forgotten how to see and must regain my sense!!

[xxEmilyxxXD]

My best friend is now acting like those popular girls (the mean and annoying ones) because of her new friend. I miss the old her 8( Now she's mean to me...

What do I do to get her back? Plz help me!

[beccaluvstu]

@xxEmilyxxXD that happens but really if she gets totally caught in her 10 minutes of fame reality is gonna smack her in the face like a baseball bat . and realize she lost her best friend and feel like crap for treating you like that because usually you can never trust one of those girls ,i am what you would call "popular" but really it's nothing to like , you get so many rumors and stupid stuff like that she is gonna find out its not all she dreamed about its hell .

[cherryblos100]

@xxEmilyxxXD Same here.. she used to be my best friend... Its sad but i just ignored her and said " you may be popular on the outside but on the inside... YOUR THE MEANEST GIRL EVER" then she apoligized but i said no its too late! :)

[nitesnype]

I would sacriface my life for ali......but sometimes......i don't think she feels the same.....</3 I need help to re-stich my heart back togerther

[111bloodstar]

I have a very troubled past so this is my fav song

[lexiibunny24]

thankyou kim, for literally saving my life... you saved me before I could cut deep enough </3

[SydneySaysRaawr]

@lexiibunny24 Wow, uhm this is kinda weird I have the same thing from what i know about you (very little) My friend Kim saved me before i could cut that one that would end my life.

[TheJDrewBiebersgirl]

I love this song <3

[syn0psys2010]

:( Slade claims that the song is about all of the people that tried to reach out to the boy but were unsuccessful. As Slade says in an interview, the boy's friends and family approached him by saying, "Quit taking drugs or I won't talk to you again," but all he needed was some support. The verses of the song describe an attempt by an adult to confront a troubled teen. In the chorus, the singer laments that he himself was unable to save a friend because he did not know how.

[syn0psys2010]

Very sad..According to lead singer, pianist and songwriter Isaac Slade, the song was composed and influenced by his experience while working as a mentor at a camp for troubled teens:

“ One of the youngsters I was paired up with was a musician. Here I was, a protected suburbanite, and he was just 17 and had all these problems. And no one could write a manual on how to save him. ”

[SydneySaysRaawr]

I'm so glad my friend knew how to save a life. Thank you so much Kim, you saved my life.

[BooksRuleAll]

This song reminds me of The Hunger Games.

SPOILER

RIP Cinna, Finnick, Rue, Boggs, Prim, Mr. Everdeen, the Mellark family, Mr. Hawthorne, Chaff, Seeder, Foxface, Wiress, etc...

[SydneySaysRaawr]

@BooksRuleAll Omg, it was so sad when Prim died :(
