Johnny was the captain of the football team
Hated by all the guys, and every girls dream
Always had a good paying job and sweet ride
Not egotistic, and never leaned onto his pride
Straight A’s, a beautiful girlfriend with him
But still he’s not happy, thinking life’s dim
Everything easy, nothing brings him joy
His mind dark, his soul turning into a void
No one notices his pain or how he truly feels
Every night at home drinking, popping pills
Watching his little brother, on is Nickelodeon
Thoughts racing, glowing like it was neon
In his daddy’s room, grab the 45, load it up
He’s afraid of the future, he’s had enough
Put it in his mouth, and let that trigger go
Brain matter cover his brother and the floor
Suicide is never the way to leave
There is help, no need to bleed
Put down the gun, drop the noose
Don’t give up, it’s a horrible excuse
In enters Sarah, she never had any real friends
Just wants some relief, for the pain to finally end
She pretends she’s OK, but still hurts inside
Parents ask what’s wrong, but she only lies
Up to her room, turns to music to full blast
Hoping every day and night that its over fast
Trying to express her pain, to express her grief
Hoping to escape, trying to find some peace
Ain’t no one kind to her, ain’t getting love
Goes home to dad, drunk, never gave a hug
In bed staring at the ceiling, no pain healing
Why is she here if her life has no meaning
The demons she seeing, breaking into tears
Knowing that she can never feel any cheer
The end near, take a couple sleeping pills
Let the water near the top, and hope it kills
Suicide is never the way to leave
There is help, no need to bleed
Put down the gun, drop the noose
Don’t give up, it’s a horrible excuse
Many people killing themselves over nothing
Just believe me, your life is worth something
Depression is ugly, you need to just let it out
Let go of the grief and pain, better do it now
Just drop the gun, and let me pull up chair
I’m here to listen, just to let you know I care
Suicide is not the answer, a bad way to escape
Its just a false exit that we all try to contemplate
If you want to fine, but know your bound to fail
Because you’ll just end up back in total Hell
Suicide is never the way to leave
There is help, no need to bleed
Put down the gun, drop the noose
Don’t give up, it’s a horrible excuse
