Lyrics

[Intro] Hey guys, let's take a minute and talk about suicide prevention There's probably someone right now at this school thinking about killing himself, and it's not funny You better take him serious or he might actually do it [Verse 1] I've been feelin' sad, I've been bein' sad Can't talk to my mom, don't even have a dad I can't go on, what is livin' for? My heart screams, "I don't wanna live no more" [Chorus] Eric, we don't want you to die Eric, give life a try Eric, we don't want you to die Eric, oh God, no, Eric I don't wanna live no more [Verse 2] But Eric, we don't want you to die You're so cool, we'd be sad at school Yeah, but you guys, you don't understand With my girlfriend, it's like I'm livin' in quicksand Conflicting thoughts, I need a battered wife shelter My girlfriend is messed up, but all I wanna do is help her I'm suffocating, I'm drownin' in sorrow Gonna kill myself prolly 'round 2:30 tomorrow [Chorus] But Eric, we don't want you to die Eric, give life a try Everybody! Eric, we don't want you to die Eric, oh God, no, Eric But it's so hard! Eric, we don't want you to die [Bridge] Only you guys can make a difference I don't care if you're Black, white, gay, straight, or trans, I am going to kill myself unless you all start taking it seriously Eric, please don't die
