I'm not talking about the full lyrics, but just a phrase or a sentence that you feel is right up your alley.

One of my personal favourites is from Barmy by The Fall: I got everything I want except for money.

“Your death it won’t happen to you, it happens to your family and your friends, I pretend.”

From the song “I Always Wanna Die Sometimes” by the 1975.

Got me out of a very dark place and made me realize how much it would hurt my friends and family if I went through with it.

We all have suicidal thoughts at some point. It’s when you actively think about how and when you’ll do it that you need help.

I was in a similar spot a long time ago. Even though in such a situation it's incredibly hard to see it from outside your black bubble of depression, from your family's and friends' POV, it really does help to try.
