Til ho tante Else, til alle som avsluttet livet sitt, og til alle som tenker på å avslutte livet sitt.
There’s no way to reach you now
Now it’s too late to pick up the phone and call
and maybe if I had known, if I had done it
It would not have changed anything at all
But I know how it feels, longing to just disappear
I know how it sounds, when death whispers in your ear
Still, I had no idea someone as vibrant, someone as lively as you
That you heard those whispers, that you felt drawn against death too
and even after all these years, it’s still hard to accept that death got you
If only I knew
Maybe there was nothing I could really do
Still, I wish that I knew
‘Cuz I know that you had what it took
To push, to live it through
I know all too well
Life can be heaven, but it can also be hell
and sometimes we all need someone to tell
That life is a storm right now, but it can all turn out well
We can turn out well
and there is a way, a route
that leads us out of hell
If I could have talked you out of it
Maybe I couldn’t, but I would have wanted to try
There’s so much I’d like to say before I had to say goodbye
More than anything I wish I’d known
That you were in a desperate place, in need of an ally
I know all too well
That the darkest thoughts can feel like being under a spell
and sometimes we all need someone to tell
That life is a storm right now, but it can all turn out well
We can turn out well
And if there’s a way in, there’s also a way out
A way out, away from our personal hell
If I can talk you out of it
Maybe I can’t, but I’d like to try
There’s so much you can do, before you say goodbye
More than anything, I want to say
I’m here, if you are in a desperate place, in desperate need
of an ally..
If I can talk you out of it..
The way I’ve talked myself out of it
If I can talk you out of it
If I can motivate you just a little bit longer
Give it time, give yourself the time
You got what it takes, to be stronger
You got what it takes
and the heart can endure so much before it breaks
and even broken hearts can heal
You can heal
and just know you are never alone, you are never alone
No matter how lonely and lost you may feel
If I can talk you out of it
If I can reach you in this darkness
There’s only one of you, you know, and no one can replace you
Give it time, give yourself the time
You deserve to give yourself time
Wanting to die, is not a crime, it’s not a crime
But if you are at the bottom, you can climb, you can climb
Life is a storm right now, but it can all turn out well
You can turn out well
and if there’s a way in, then there’s gotta be, gotta be
a way out, a way out..
Of our own personal hell
There is a way out.
