Verse: Cm Gm I feel for you but when did you believe you were alone Cm Gm You say that spiders crawled inside and made themselves a home F D Where light once was Cm Gm Petrified of who you are and who you have become Cm Gm You will hide from everyone, denying you need someone F D To exterminate your bones Chorus: Bb F Gm Eb Friend, please remove your hands from Bb F Gm D Over your eyes for me Bb F Gm Eb I know you want to leave but Bb F Gm D Cm Gm Friend, please don't take your life away from me Interlude: Cm Gm Cm Gm Verse: Cm Gm Living like a ghost you walk by everyone you know Cm Gm You say that you're fine but you have lost your sway and glow F D So I stopped by to let you know Chorus: Bb F Gm Eb Friend, please remove your hands from Bb F Gm D Over your eyes for me Bb F Gm Eb I know you want to leave but Bb F Gm Eb D Gm Friend, please don't take your life away from me Verse: Bb Dm Eb Would you let me know your plans tonight Bb Dm Eb 'Cause I just won't let go 'til we both see the light Bb Eb And I have nothing else left to say Bb D Eb F But I will listen to you all day, yes I will Interlude: Cm Gm Cm Gm F D Chorus: Bb F Gm Eb Friend, please remove your hands from Bb F Gm D Over your eyes for me Bb F Gm Eb I know you want to leave but Bb F Gm D Gm Friend, please don't take your life away from me
No one ever told me about this song. But about a year ago I saw it on YouTube and decided to take a listen. I was sitting in class, I wasn’t able to do my work because I was too wrapped up in my thoughts. I was so depressed and suicidal and I listened to this song for the first time that day. I started crying in the middle of class. Now I listen to this song whenever I’m at my lowest.
I honestly am going through hard times and every time I read these comments I know I’m not alone I know because of this song I can get out of the hard times stay alive ll-//
2 years ago I had a conversation with one of my friends who was close to taking her life but was longing for someone to notice her and stop her.
I recorded and sent her covers of this song and “Lovely – by T.Ø.P.” she stopped everything she was doing (with help)
and now my girlfriend and I are happy living life with no regrets
To all those out there who are suicidal, or just depressed in general, keep fighting. I’m in this battle with you and hey, maybe if we Hold on till May, (If you get the reference your a legend) we can win this fight. Stay alive frens ll-//
Ugh, I wish I could’ve played this to my brother before he decided to take his own life..
This song has literally saved my life on numerous occasions. I wouldn’t even be commenting this if it wasn’t for this song. In the words of Evan Hansen, Zoe Murphy, Connor Murphy, Jared Kleinman and numerous others; you are not alone. Stay alive ||-//
A year ago today I sat on a building edge with my friend playing this song for him. He was so close to taking his life and I’m honestly so happy that he’s still here with me.
I’m playing this while I’m on a crisis trying to calm down. I wish I had someone to rely on like the people on the comments have said.
Im sure there are many people who would be happy to help you through a difficult time. keep going, are loved <3
i sing this song all nights to myself so i don’t have that strong suicidal thoughts
