It's a very real thing,
Why treat it as a joke?
Why continue to antagonize?
Why must you still provoke?
He’s not looking for “attention”;
He doesn't want your sorrow.
He wants to feel appreciated,
He wants a new tomorrow.
Do not turn away from him,
Do not treat it as a lie.
Don’t you dare grow distant;
Do not tell him goodbye.
Don’t let him pull the trigger,
For he needs you here tonight.
He’s on the verge of doing it—
He’s committing suicide.
