Follow You Down (Anti Suicide Song) Lyrics

Introduction:
I just recently lost my seventeen year old daughter
She hung herself the day before her eightieth birthday
What I think you’re all doing here is fantastic
My daughter lost eight friends to suicide before she died last year
It is epidemic, it is out of control and none of you want to talk about it
You don’t want to let your kids hear about how another child died
In case they want to do it to themselves
It’s not right. We need to talk about it.
I can’t bring my daughter back.
I had to perform CPR on my daughter for 20 minutes and she was deceased
Verse 1:
(Yeah) I’m a need you all to listen because this subject will reserted to,
Cause this subject will probably touch most of you.
Kids are having trouble and they want to take the pain away,
They don’t talk to anyone unless it is their razor blade.
Kids as young as 14 say they've had enough,

But I’ve seen how badly it affects dad and mum.
When you say you’re done and you decide to take your life,
It’s your family and friends who have to pay the price.
I’ve met a lot of people saying they don’t wanna live,
They’re too depressed to think about the positives.
But when you’re gone, you don’t see what it does to people,
So, in a way, they’ll say suicide is something evil.
Well, listen now, I ain’t saying that it’s selfish,
I know sometimes the pain feels overwhelming .
My friend Chloe shhh, she was so beautiful ,
The last time anyone saw her was at her funeral.
She got sick of crying, she got sick of the pain,
She got sick of cutting her wrists, sick of slitting her veins.
She decided to end it all, jumped in front of a train,
And I know her boyfriend, he went fucking insane.
And now she’s gone he’s an emotional wreck,
And all he does is sit at home, depressed, lonely and stressed,
He does nothing, even quit his day job.
All he does is cry, he finds it too hard to stay strong,
I know sometimes you just want to say “Fuck it!”
Lock the door and shut it,
And hold your wrist and cut it.
At one point, I felt exactly the same,
My life was turning to shit, I couldn’t handle the pain,
My parents blaming me for everything, thought about killing myself,
I wanna make it to heaven, sick of living in hell.
Suicide is something that I fucking hate,
I’ll lose my mind if I lose another mate.
So, share this song I’ll be ever so grateful,
I think it’s safe to say God has enough angels.
So if you’re feeling down – PLEASE don’t go through with it,
We don’t want you to disappear like an illusionist.
You think no one cares, we HONESTLY do,
So please change everything to a positive you.
And reconsider everything and listen to my song,
Because you’re NOT ending your pain, you’re only PASSING it on!
Verse 2:
This is where you took that leap,
look where you’ve brought me,
Standing on the edge and I’m looking round,
If you tell me how I’ll follow you down.
If the climb was really that steep and the water was really that deep,
Why didn’t you come to me?
I’m missing you now, wishing I could follow you down
I’d follow you down
I’d follow you down
I’d follow you down
Believe this, when you go, so many wanna follow..
cause their drowning in they’re sorrow.
