He says he wants to die
And asks if I would try
To commit suicide with him

But inside
This is a cry
For a reason to live
Not a reason to die

Every time we hang out
We ended up talking about
How he wants it to end
And how as his friend
I should join him

But inside
This is a cry
For a reason to live
Not a reason to die

After six or seventy times
Of telling me he wants to die
And that we should go together
The rope snaps
The leather tether
Holding my tongue
Comes undone
I spout you go first
He replies
*******
And never again
Asks me to
Die with him

Cause inside
This is a cry
For a reason to live
Not a reason to die

Many years later
I will find out
The truth about how he feels
The bottle and the pills
The anguish that kills
It turns out I was mistaken
Now his life is taken
And I’ll spend my days
Looking for a friend
Who will help me on my way
