Send "How Do You Get That Lonely" ringtones to your cell

It was just another story printed on the second page 
Underneath the Tiger’s football score 
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age 
They found him face down on his bedroom floor 

There’ll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home 
Then out on Mooresville highway, they’ll lay him ‘neath a stone 

How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad 
To make you make the call, that havin’ no life at all 
Is better than the life that you had 
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go 
How do you get that lonely…and nobody knows 

Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun? 
Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol? 
Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say ‘I love you son‘? 
Did no one see the writing on the wall? 
I’m not blamin’ anybody, we all do the best we can 
I know hindsights 20/20, but I still don’t understand 

How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad 
To make you make the call, that havin’ no life at all 
Is better than the life that you had 
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go 
How do you get that lonely…and nobody knows 

It was just another story printed on the second page 
Underneath the Tiger’s football score

What strikes me most about this song, is that it encompasses exactly what a person feels when they begin to squeeze the Trigger. What I think might strike a person reading this Comment most is what I am about to say. There is an instant, just before you take your own Life, where you are more Vulnerable, more Uncertain, more Afraid than anyone can Immagine. At this Point, one of two things happens. Either you Turn Back, or you go through with it. I Turned Back. I Turned Back, because someone realized, just in Time, what I was about to do, and talked me out of it. I'm better now, but it's still there. It's something you can't immagine if you haven't been there, so there's no word strong enough to describe it. Think Agony, Turmoil, Grief, Fear, Isolation, & Pain, all rolled into one & multiplied Exponentially, & you get a rough Idea. The scary part is, a lot of us hold it Inside, and don't show it until it Kills us. That's where those Questions you guys mentioned come from. Because it was Inside, hidden, and you didn't see it. No One saw it. Maybe the Person who Died didn't even see it until it was too late. This is Morbid, I know, but it's a Truth we should all Face... I Turned Back.

1 posts	When I first heard this song just not to long ago I sat there and cried. I am manic depressive and I can relate to this song very well. First its not antones fault that some one takes thier life. Its a condition that alot of people hide and we learn to hide it well. Even the best of friends cant tell and most depressed people wont even talk to anyone about it. Its a sad thing to go throught. I have been manic depression all my life. just the past few yrs I have been able to talk about it and taking meds to deal with it. You can control it most of the time but its still there in the back of your mind. If more people could see the signs and hear this song there could be more lives saved or helped. At the age of 7 I tried the first time to take my life by cutting my wrist and no one saw the signs. In total I have tried to take my life about 9 times and now I am almost 40 and just now getting help. I hope if there is anyone out there reading this just know there is help out there and its not your fault or anyone elses fault you feel that way but think twice. Life is hard but there are people out thier that have been there and willing to listen to lead a shoulder or try to help.

26 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love this song. It makes me cry when I hear. I have been to the point that I almost made the call to leave. But i got help after I had to tell my parents about my thoughts. I think it is brave for Blaine to sing about this when no adult would.

54 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal What Jamier65 & Countrygurl789 are saying is quite True. I Myself am Schitzo-Affective, and it gets bad...It's hard to face anyone or anything when you get there, and it's incredibly hard to get out of...But the three of us are Living Proof that it IS Possible...Still, it's not something that can be Explained. You have to have been there to really know what it's like...It's an Incredible song, and I'm Grateful that Someone finally dealt with this Subject...

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal When I was abou 14 or 15 I attempted suicide. I cried when I first heard this song because I do know how it feels to be that desperate to want to take your own life. My mom had been engaged to a man 5 years before that who committed suicide in his front yard with this entire family in the house. But to make a long story short, I know how it feels but it's hard to explain to those who have not been there.

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i would first like to thank all of you for sharing your stories. I have not been to the extent that i wanted to kill my self but i have a few that have tried. I sat and talked with one and he said that your whole life flashes before your eyes. My other good buddys freind killed himself and he had to remove the gun form the pile. a year later my freinds brother died. there have been 2 suicides in my area and it is just havoc. I do understand that flahing before your eyes that you feel when you almost die. If you dont care about my life you can scrolll on if you do then just keep reading....... _________________________________________ When I was 5 years old i almost died in a hospital but a doctor saved my life by shattering his wrist... more to come if you reply

54 posts	Okay...I know I must be Boring Everyone to Tears by now with my incessant Contributions, but...Well, this runs deep...That and I can't sleep tonight on Account of my Rabbit who is Sick...But anyway...Wow...I think we can all Relate in one way or another... There are People here who have Turned Back, people who know people who Turned Back, people who lost People because said People couldn't Turn Back... Support-Group? HDYGTL-Anonymous? Okay yes I know that last bit was sort of Wrong...Like say, it's 3:00 AM here & I haven't slept since night before last...But it's strange how someone can say in One Song everything that ties us all together... This one Song contains every Emotion involved in Suicide, the Emotions of the one who did it, AND of those Left Behind...Scary in a way, yet incredibly Inspiring in others... My question is, how exactly did Blaine know all these Emotions well enough to Capture them in Music so Completely? I guess that's probably not too hard to figure out...He's a Young Man in the Modern World...Those Emotions are Par for the Course... But still, a Powerful piece of Music, and ESPECIALLY if you've been there...It makes me cry...If I'm already Sad, it makes me shiver, knowing how close I was, how close I could be again some day... That's the Curse you know...Once you hurt enough to try it, you always have the Chance of hurting that bad or Worse in the Future, and now, you know it...

8 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal ok yall~ this song is awesome! I am new here, so this is the first reply I have writtin for a song. The thing is, this song hits soooo close to home for me. I live in a small rural town, and about a year ago, 4 of my friends made "the call" to end their lives. Four of them....all guys, age 17. They never talked to anyone, they just felt trapped. Hearing this song makes me think of them..........inevitably it makes me cry. I think it was very brave of the several of you who shared your own personal stories. It gives me hope, and I'm sure it gives hope to others as well. I too have a story..... I have reached the point where I had to make the choice. I ended up choosing life, but I still live with the fear of those dark clouds closing in on me again. Blaine totally has captured the feelings of both the suicidal person and the loved ones left behind........bravo Blaine! I suppose that I wrote too much.......i'll hush now.......

35 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Awwww! While do i feel bad for the people who have committed suicide and their families, i dont know why they would do it either. To me it just doesn't make sense why they would do that. I mean even having a bad life is better than having no life. But again thats just my opinion....Anyways great song! I absolutely hate country and accidently clicked on this song and decided to listen to it just cuz he was pretty cute. And it turned out to be good.

54 posts	First, I would like to take this Oportunity to Welcome concrete_angel to the site, & say Great Post!!! No, it's not too long. Sometimes I type 3 times that. & wow...4 Friends in 1 year...Honestly I'm sorry about that...I know it's Painful...I've lost People suddenly & without Warning, too... Secondly, thank you BlinkBabii182 for finally giving Country a Chance, as it is the greatest thing Ever to happen to Modern Music, & more People realise it every day. However I feel I must point out, as a Person who has Attempted suicide Numerous Times, & probably will again, feeling Bad for us doesn't Help. Suicidal People don't want Pity. We want elease, possibly to be Undserstood, & most of all, the Peace of Oblivian. I can't Explain it to you because you've never been there. & it'sd not always a Reasonable thing, anyway. In my Case, i's largely Due to a Mental & Emotional Innability to cope with Life. So of Course it doesn't always make Sense. But I know a girl who has been Depressed since I met her, & I know that she is strong, because she has Survived. Her Parents are Abusive & when she ran away they didn't even look for her. Her other friends & I are doing what we can, but as I don't have Contact with her except when she Contacts me, I live with the constant Fear of being too Late & too Far away. I love this girl like Family & that's not a bond I take lightly. She is strong because, considering her Depression & circumstances, many would have Ended their Misery by now, but she hasn't. it's taken everything Inside her to Survive this long, to resis the Urge to just End Everything, & it's taken all her Friends showing their Support to give her this Strength. It's very important to be there for your Friends, no matter what, because you can't always tell when they might not be around any more for you to be There for... And lastly, to Saltiegal , I say, Thank you for the Encouragement & all, & it's Appreciated, really it is, but like say, you'd have to have Been There to Understand completely. It's an Indescribably deep internal Suffering that drives people to this Desision, & no Language has Words that can Accurately capture it. They're just Words, & it's a feeling Beyond words. That's why people yusually don't talk to Others before they do this. Because they can't Describe it, because they know they can't, & because, without the Understandsing of the Person they'd be telling, it would be Pointless. A Hopelessness so Profound comes over you then, when you Realize you can't Explain it no matter how hard you try, so you give up trying. Yes, I know this Song is Sad to people who've never been there, but to those of us who have, it's more than that. It's powerful. It captures our Suffering & transmutes it intosound. It's not just a song. It's an Anthem...

16 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i don't even know what i can say to express how powerful this song is. i just wish everyone knew that no matter i what theres some one that loves and cares about you and a God that will unconditionaly love you despite everything. Unfortunatly it took attempts to end my life to relize this. If anyone ever needs someone to talk to i'm here. e-mail: shortebabydoll08@yahoo.com and my AIM sn is oochelsbrookeoo...i'm more then willing to talk to anyone. And thank you Blaine Larsen!

557 posts	This is a great song!! But on the subject of suicide... I can't believe that anyone would be that selfish and stupid to take their own life. Nothing in life is bad enough to end it, I don't care WHAT it is! Also, when you take your own life, you're thinking only of yourself. You don't give a damn how others may feel. Because you're ending your suffering, but at the same time, you're causing the people who love you to suffer.
14-03-2005 18:39 WolfOfFate
54 posts	Excuse me, BlondePoet, but I must point out that you are quite Mistaken. In many cases, Suicide is viewed by the Person doing it as a way to remove themselves from Life, thus Ending not only their own Pain, but the Burden they feel they placed on their Loved Ones. It's a Strangew Concept for you, I'm sure, but if you haven't been there you can't possibly know what it's like to see yourself as a being that has no Value whatsoever, and is merely dragging Society, especially those you care for, down with you. Several of the times I nearly killed Myself it was because I didn't want to Burden my Family with my Presence any more. Even if the Reasoning is messed up, Suicide isn't a simple Selfishness. Often, in its basic Intent, it's actually quite Selfless. My Friend lost her Mother to Cancer a while ago, & while she was going through this, she wrote some very disturbingly Depressed Poetry. My Favorite Line, & something I think may help you Understand, is this: For you to be Happy, is my Last Wish. My Friend is still with us, and in Fact has kept me Alive on more than one Occasion. Suicide has to do with Ending a Person's Own Pain, yes, but it's also meant to Relieve One's Loved Ones of a burden. True, this is Illogical. But then, so is the Emotional State that leads to such a Desicion. Please don't say things like that. You can't talk until you've been at the Brink, with the Proverbial Gun to your Temple, and made the Call for yourself. Until you've stared Oblivian in the Eyes and Smiled, you can't know how Beautiful Eternal Quiet can be. And none of us can make you Understand. But please, Accept that it's Possible to see yourself as a Burden, and to see your own Demise as a Kindness toward your Loved Ones. I'm not saying it makes Sense. But I've been there, and I've seen it that way, and the only Reason I'm not Dead now is tha my Friends ad Family were there to take the Gun away.

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I agree with wolfoffate i have been close to takeing my own life around 3 times. the first time was when i watched mymother die! have youever seen a person die? it is heart breaking. i knew it was comming she had cancer and the doctors gave up on her. the last week of her life she was hooked up to machines in her house beacuse the doctors couldent help her anymore.............but off that topic and on to what this song means to me I love this song beacuse so many people dont know what it is like to be that lonly. I have been there like i said above. i turnd back beacuse i now relise i have friends who careabout me and i think and hope i never forget that.

54 posts	Hugz BreePix Hey Doll. Long Time no Talk. What's it been, 3 Minutes since the last Email? I Honestly still can't Immagine what losing a Mother is like Bree-San...But my Grandmoher has Alzhimer's, as I've told you, & it gets harder every time I see her...I know I'm gonna lose her, I'm watching her Fade, & it's harder than losing Someone outa Nowhere. So yeah. I have a Feeling that when she Goes I'm gonna be Considering going with. The hardest Part of having survived Multiple Attempts on your own Life is being able to see the Next Attempt coming, knowing just what'll Trigger it, knowing you've got several Theories on which way to Go woul be most Effective, & not being able to Stop it from Coming. I'm gonna need to have you to talk me through that when it happens Bree-San...You've done it Before...I Owe you my life already but I wouldn't mind owing it to you some more... Oh...Another Email from you just came...I'll go Reply, kk? KK. Byeness.Runz to Reply to Email

10 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Hey! I'd like to say this song is pretty rootin tootin good lol. but actually the lyrics didnt first attract me to the song the video was shot in my home town actually and having a grandma that listens to country to she pointed it out to me and after a while i listened to the lyric and i was like omg. But on the subject of suicide wolfoffate is right. I have been then and all i can say to describe the emotions is its crazy. Everyone who has said you dont know what its like till your there is right. In my mind i dealt with suicide for almost 2 years it was a year before i would cut and started to deal wiht it physically. It was a way to control something because in your mind you have no control over your emotions and that is a way to control it. No I'm not a control freak i jus like to be clear in my mind and i wasn't everything had became so foggy. Its one of the hardest things in my life i have ever dealt with. No one knew anything was going on except me and my now fiance'. He kept me there in the end of the battle even if he don't know it. he in all actuality saved my life. But unfortuanately he showed up in the end and i was almost completely gone. but better late than never right? Most people don't understand that its a slow ride downhill. I haven't had an easy life abuse rape molestation and not being wanted at home. and that jus cause my down fall. & To this day i still at times when things get hard i freak because thats a SCARY place and once your there u don't want to go back and I don't. When things get hard i want to cut and cut deep to escape it all bc like i said i dont want ot go back there but ive coem to terms to relize that this will prolly alwways be a part of me and mabe i can help some one to understand or something. Sorry if i didnt make much sense there its just really hard for me to tlak about and i try not to remember most of it but those of u that are angry at the person dont be bc to them its there only escape to them jus BE THERE 4 THEM. well sorry this was really long but ive g2g so laterz yall peace out.

54 posts	Wow...tims_sweety, I think I like you...Wanna be friends? Am I Correct inAssuming that the Tim Refference in your Alias is in fact Refferring to Tim McGraw? He's Hot... roooooooooolz on Pix of Tim* If not, don't mind me... That made Perfect Sense to me, & I think I can safely say that's not something you WANT to make Sense. Looking back on those Thoughts & Feelings, I scare Myself. When I reread the Poetry I wrote when I was in that Place I feel as though I'm looking at Someone Ese's Work, but at the Same time it's Clearly me. Once it's Inside you it doesn't come out. It's there & it's there for Good. Youve Felt it Once, and you KNOW you could Feel itagain at any Time. It's not Reasonable, or Rational, or in any way Pleasant. It's a misery beyond misery, a Darkness that completely seals off any source of Light, & the least Dark spot you can see happens to be on the other Side of your own Death. My poems and Art from when I'm Depressed are, quite Simply, Disturbingly Lonely. Some even Depict Death in various Forms. You think about it for a long Time before you Act. It's not Sudden. People just think it is because they don't see it happening until the last minute. I've Cut Myself. I've Hung Myself. I've tried to Electricute and Poison Myself. Once I tried to get into my Dad's Gunlocker. Each Time, it was after Lengthy Deliberation. Suicidal People are not Typically Rash, Spontaneous, People. We are Methodical. We Consider several Options before Choosing, we conider them Thoroughly. What's Fastest? Least Painful? Least Messy? Least Damaging to the Property around us? All of these and more Factor in. I depends on your own Priority, which may Vary from Attempt to Attempt. No One's Saying it's Rational. All we're saying is, we think it out quite thoroughly, & it makes Sense to the One doing the Thinking. And the best way to Prevent a Suicide is to be a True Friend.
