Your Life dreams are shattered, you're gone away
We've cried here for hours, and the hours turn to days
We know you regret this, leaving us here,
With portraits and memories that we've held so dear

When I hear your name, it's not the same
No matter what they say, I'm not okay

And we started at zero, and went different ways
Now we're all out here wasting away
And if we started at zero, then how did things change?
It seems like just yesterday we were the same

It's been 3 months since he left us
so far nothing's been the same
and my question without answer is:
Am I the one to blame?

He was such a good description of a favored future man
He spoke well of other people, and they said the same for him

When I hear your name, it's not the same
no matter what they say, I'm not okay

And we started at zero, and went different ways
Now we're all out here wasting away
And if we started at zero, then how did things change?
It seems like just yesterday we were the same
we were the same

They say they're sorry, but what are they sorry for?
How can they possibly know what I'm going through?
I feel like no one's ever had to deal with this pain that I'm dealing with right now
Just 6 months ago everyhting was fine, or so it seemed
what turn of event caused him to go downhill?
his parents are devastated
his girlfriend's depressed
What was he thinking!?

And we started at zero
And went different ways
Now we're all out here wasting away
Wasting away
Wasting away
Wasting away

And we started at zero
And went different ways
Now we're all out here wasting away
And if we started at zero
Then how did things change?
It seems like just yesterday we were the same
We were the same
We were the same
We were the same

    General Comment:Simply me is right. It does pretty much say that Jason doesn't understand how, if they both started with nothing in their lives, and tried to work their way up, how could they have gone such different paths, one suicide. And the "now we're all out here wasting away" bit basically means that even though they both had different routes, starting with nothing, because of the suicide, they're both pretty much dying from the inside out here.
    It seems like Jason is really hurting here, and i can relate. My uncle killed himself when i was younger and now that i hear this song, it really hits me, because that's the way i feel. when i hear the song and i really pay attention to the lyrics, i cry my heart out, and yeah. . . i no what he means when he screams that part. . . its just like that for me too. . .

    General Comment:i really love this song because he really summed up everything you feel when a friend kills themself.
    when i was 14 and my friend was 15, he committed suicide and this is exactly what i was feeling and thinking at the time, and sort of now too.
    it's nice to be able to hear how someone else felt and know that you aren't the only one that feels this way.

    General Comment:This song is so amazing....I just found out this morning that my uncle shot himself last night....it makes no sense....He was a pastor, he seemed completely fine, there were no warnings at all....he didnt leave a note or anything....i remembered hearing this song, and wanted to delve deeper into the meaning....i now completely understand the bridge where Jason says"They say they're sorry, but what are they sorry for?"....I am so tired of hearing people say that...it's all I've heard all day....i know they mean well, but it gets old fast...anyway, amazing song, and it really spoke to me

    Song Meaning:at first I thought it was about he father leaving and then as I listend to it several times I realized that it was about his best friend who commented suicide.

    This song is really great and kinda depressing but really makes you realize that there is somebody out there that will care if you take your life.

    This song totally makes me want to hold on and find the light at the end of the tunnel, no matter what happens.

    "Zero" is a song by the Christian group Hawk Nelson, from their album Smile, It's The End of the World. The song itself is about someone Jason Dunn, the vocalist for Hawk Nelson, knew who committed suicide.
