Lyrics:

I hear a voice in your room
When I’m alone at night

It reminds me of your life
It reminds me of your laughter
It reminds me of a better time before

Back before you decided
That you did not want to be here anymore

I hear the poison in the voices of those awful words
Yes I read the words they wrote to you

Those stupid broken children
I wonder if they knew
Just how badly they were hurting you

Those victimizing victims
I wonder if they knew
What their shaming did to you

I wonder if they knew
Their words would make you want to find a place to hide

I wonder if they knew
Their words would make you want to take your own life

Sing away
Sing yourself away
Sing away from those that hurt you
Sing away the pain

Sing away
Sing the words you want to say
Sing the words that tell the truth
Sing the words that keep you safe
Find your voice and sing away the pain

Why didn’t you talk to me?
Why didn’t you say you were afraid?

Didn’t you know
My job in life
Was to keep you safe?

Why didn’t you come to me?
Why didn’t you wake me like you used to do
I was in my room 20 feet away

I didn’t know you were so broken
I wonder if you knew
Your life is a song that will live in me and everything I do

I wonder if you knew
I will always sing your song for you

Sing away
Sing yourself away
Sing away from those that hurt you
Sing away the pain

Sing away
Sing the words you want to say
Sing the words that tell the truth
Sing the words that keep you safe

I sing your life
I sing you to remember
Sing away

I sing your life
I sing you to remember
Sing away

I sing you when I dream of you
And you tell me sing away

I sing you when I dream of you
And you tell me sing away

I sing you when I dream of you
And you tell me you forgive me
Sing away

I sing you when I dream of you
And you tell me that you love me
Sing away

Suicide is complex – and what leads someone to suicide is generally a combination of several risk factors. Bullying can be one of them.

For anyone who’s struggling:

Don’t keep what you’re feeling inside. Sing the words that keep you safe. Tell someone what you’re going through. The world is better with you in it.
If you or a loved one is in crisis, please call or text 988 for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741 to talk to someone who can help.
