A former classmate's suicide inspired this song ... the lyrics represent the internal dialoque in the dying persons' mind at the time of their suicide ... when a temporary confusion results in a permanent solution. Hopefully, this song will make people think and open some dialogue about teen suicide. It's better that we start talking about it. We need to take the statements and the warning signs seriously by a suicidal person, and get help for them because they just can't do it for themselves. After all, they don't really want us to let them go.

I remember just the other night
When you said you'd never leave my sight
But today is a different story
Cause today my heart is filled with worry

Once again, you left stranded and blind
With my chest ripped open you ate me alive
I wonder why I let this happen again
Again... whoooo again.

Chorus:
Don't let me go this time
My heart is too crumbled inside
Just slam my coffin
Leave me to die
No, I don't want to go out this way
This way, yeah,
Out this way
This way, yeah, yeah ...

Hold me close
Help me forget all this pain
Wipe my eyes from all scars that remain
I never thought you'd be the one to let go
And I don't want to die alone
Alone

Don't let me go wooooo
Don't let me go wooooo
You just fade away, yeah ...
You just fade away, yeah ...
You just fade away, yeah ...
You just fade away, again ...
You just fade away, again ...

Chorus:
Don't let me go this time
My heart is too crumbled inside
Just slam me in my coffin
Leave me to die
Oh, I don't want to go this way
No, I don't want to go this way
No, I don't want to go
