| I think Wickedbunny is right, but I'll add more. I think when he says, "if you do not want to see me again, I would understand." as in, you didn't have to restort to this, you could just left everyone but you didn't have to die... and also when he says, "Everyone's got to face down the demons Maybe today, we can put the past away " Now that he's dead, all those times he's tried putting his past behind him hadn't worked, but now he can just lay it all to rest because he himself is gone. | |

| this is a great song because...well, i dunno. it's like an anti-suicide anthem. and i think everyone needs to hear those once in awhile, just to remember that it's gonna be alright. | |

| i agree with you guys that he does end up jumping which is so sad. despite that, this song has such a powerful message to me and its one of songs i can listen to when depression hits hard. | |
