Wouldn't want you to die

And make us look bad

After all of the pain

That we both have had

On the back of this envelope

We hope you'll find

The number for your local

Suicide hotline


Couldn't give you the cash

You haven't suffered enough

But with that in mind

Please don't beat yourself up

Try to think positive

Though you've been declined

Try to call your local

Suicide hotline


You say that you can't work

But try just taking a walk

You say that you can't walk

Have you tried meditation?

This thing you say is eating you

Maybe it's been feeding you

Lies about what you can do

Have you tried therapy?


Wouldn't want you to die

And make us look bad

Losing public trust

Would make us so sad

We won't pay your bills

But we think you'll find

An exclusion of our liability for your self-inflicted death;

The suicide hotline
