How To Save A Life - The Fray (Lyrics)

Lyrics of How To Save A Life - The Fray

[ethanlyons]

12 years since the last time I contemplated suicide.
Listening to this makes me thankful for the woman who saved my life, the woman I'm now married to 12 years later.
The woman who let me vent my pain, anger, frustration ect. who took the time to speak to some random kid she didn't even know before that night.

I used to listen to this when I was suicidal, over 10 years ago. I've since moved from that awful town I grew up in, got my first apartment, I'm engaged to someone who was also suicidal and beat it, and am finally happy. Granted-lot of PTSD and trauma to unpack, but I'm glad I'm here to unpack it and whoever is listening to this-I'm glad you're still here too.

[StillCold]

To my little sister who died on the 2 year anniversary of when my mother died. I miss you sis. 23 years old is way to young.

I remember jamming out to this before I understood the lyrics. Those were the days.

[natalia-tnqm]

[lemonbear]

If you read this. Your allowed to cry because their gone but your not allowed to cry forever. You gotta smile someday when you think of them and I can’t wait for that day :)

I’m 14 and lost my mom to an abusive step dad now I live with my dad and it’s just been so hard knowing this is one of her favorite songs and it pains me to hear this song at all.

Leona Caruso I miss you, I know your in a better place now.
2/19/79 - 4/8/19 Update: Today is the one year of her passing and 8 months later after my comment, thanks to you guys and some of my family I do feel better but still I know now always spend time with your loved ones who knows when they will be gone.

one of my closest friends swallowed a bunch of pills last week, tomorrow is a week from his death and frankly i've been crying for so long that i can barely keep my eyes open. i miss him so much, and had i just sent the message i wanted to send, he'd be alive right now.

but
i guess not.

I think my cancer is back but due to bad insurance and COVID I'm still waiting to take more tests. My blood work showed possible kidney problems, pain in my sides. This October would have made 5 years since my diagnosis. Makes me sad because I only just finished college and was excited to enjoy life.

Edit: I just wanted to say thank you for all the support!! It's meant a lot! More than I can really put into words. I'm actually doing really well and last I checked my cancer is still in full remission. I turned 26 a few weeks ago and I am excited to keep moving forward in life. I hope all of you are doing great as well!

[raymiller]

The hardest thing about this song, is the fact it doesn’t mean much until you experience someone else or yourself attempt/succeed in taking their own life.

[TWFlathead]

This comment section is honestly depressing as hell, whatever y’all are going through. Will soon end, remember you are worth everything

Me: Being emotional

The diaper ad: No, your vibe is cancelled

[OustFox]

2:00 is super emotional for me. During one of the lowest points in my life I approached a friend to tell them I was struggling and was asked not to tell them, they didn't want their day ruined (the "he'll say he's just not the same"). I remember I left and got into my car and flew down the road. Near a cliff I slammed on the breaks and stopped myself. I knew something was wrong. As much hurt and pain I was in, I think I subconsciously knew it would only solve my own. I broke down crying. Nobody checked on me, nobody knew, still nobody knows. I almost drove "till I lost the road." While I still feel the pain today, I'm thankful for the second chance I was given. I don't know why I hit the breaks for sure, but I wouldn't be here today if I didn't.

My friend Christian was one of the first friends I made in college. He was so easy to talk to and I loved seeing him at school every day. I saw so much of myself in him, in the way we both were unsure of ourselves and didn’t have the highest self esteem. Even so, we both were the type of people who wanted to walk through this world showing as much love, kindness and generosity as we could. Christian could make a room light up with laughter and always lent an ear to anyone who needed to get something off of their chest.
Last November, just after his 20th birthday, Christian committed suicide in his home after months of pulling away from everyone he knew.
It was so devastating to meet a friend who had similar problems but didn’t survive in the end. I had considered suicide for years because I’m gay...and for all of the issues that can arise in ones life, but now I know I need to carry on...for him. To prove that people like us, who hurt so much, can make it...

It’s so weird that your heart can actually hurt. As a kid I had always thought your heart was just for pumping blood and your actual emotions were in your head but at a certain point your actual heart starts to ache and you know you just can’t do it anymore.
