Got the call at 5 pm
You roommate said you'd left a note saying you could use a friend
So I went to the hospital with my heart all choked up tight
And I prayed while I drove, praying you would be alright
That morning you called to talk
You talked about how life was a merry go round
and you wanted to get off

But I never thought I'd see you here
I never thought I'd hold your hand
In your hour of need
I always thought you'd cry for help
I always thought you'd understand
That life is worth fighting for
Life is worth fighting for

So you thought no one understood
You thought tomorrow would be easier
If we went on without you
But my friend it's a lie, please hold on, call for help
Oh my friend it's your life, you are not by yourself
So you're living on the razor's edge
Well I've been there myself holding a gun to my head

If you hold my hand, can you hold on for a moment longer
If you know I love you, does it make it better'
Don't give up, don't give in
We can make it together
