On top of the roof
The air is so cold and so calm
I say your name in silence
You don't wanna hear it right now
The eyes of the city
Are counting the tears falling down
Each one a promise
Of everything you never found

I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true
Don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you
Don't jump
Don't let memories go
Of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please don't jump

You open your eyes
But you can't remember what for
The snow falls quietly
You just can't feel it no more
Somewhere out there
You lost yourself in your pain
You dream of the end
To start all over again

I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true
Don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you
Don't jump
Don't let memories go
Of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please don't jump
Don't jump

I don't know how long
I can hold you so strong
I don't know how long

Just take my hand
Give it a chance
Don't jump

I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true
Don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you
Don't jump
Don't let memories go
Of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please don't jump
Don't jump
And if all that can't hold you back
Then I'll jump for you

    Memory:It may be hard to believe for those that haven’t thought of suicide, but a few words can settle your feelings if they are the right words. I haven’t listened to this song for very very long and on the verge of suicide a whisper inside me was crying “Don’t jump!”, somehow those words made me think of this song and I smiled saying “Even Bill Kaulitz is screaming for me not to jump!”, so I didn’t. I got through the moment by repeating whatever verses I remembered. It may sound stupid to those that don’t go through this, but yeah, even now when I’m writing this I have tears in my eyes thinking of that moment. Thanks Tokio Hotel!

    Memory:Probably five months ago, my boyfriend left for boot camp, and he'd be gone for three months. We'd never been apart from each for more than a week. I'd already been dealing with a lot of other crap and so his leaving just tipped the scales. No surprise, I got so depressed that I started hurting myself, and it got so bad that I actually considered killing myself. Obviously, I'm still here today (clearly I smartened up), but I just wish I'd known about this song back then. It totally describes how I was feeling and it might have helped me cope a bit better. I watched the music video last week and I thought it was really interesting that the person who was about to jump was Bill. I don't know if anybody else noticed that and just never mentioned it, but I feel kinda smart right now. ;-)

    General Comment:well when you read the lyrics to this song the first thing you think of is suicide and that was what i thought as well but after thinking about it i think it is about your the only person that can save you nothing and no one can help you if you dont wont to be helped and that people will try and use that to there advantage and in the end if you wont to be saved you will save yourself but if you dont you wont no matter what anyone tries to tell you

    General Comment:I really do love this song. It really hits back home and my heart.
    I know it's about suicide. I have a lot people in my family who have killed themsevles
    it is such a sad thing. For the longest time I have had suicidal thoughts.
    I have tried to kill myself before. Then I got over it after a while.
    Then a while after that my little sister and big brother got really
    suicidal. I tried my hardest to bramg them out of it.
    But, most of the time they didn't want to hear it.
    It took me so long to snap them out of it. While I was finding
    ways to get them out of that state. They attpemted suicide so many
    times I lost count. They just kept at it I fanily stopped them
    and turned them back around. I had to remind them that we had so many good times
    together and nothing was goign to change that. They weren't only
    hurting themsevls but, they were ripping a hole in
    my heart. When I heared this song for the first time ever
    it reminded me that suicide is NEVER the way to go.
    No matter what happens always remember that there are people there
    for you and they are willing to jump for you.

    Memory:I really do owe my life to this song. I used to b really depressed and I was very emotionally unstable and constantly thinking that no one cared. I was so wrapped up in my suicidal thoughts that I didn't realize I was hurting my bestfriend. Well he was tired of talking to me so he drove me around for a couple of hours and when we finally stopped he put on Don't Jump. At first I didn't get it then he explained verse by verse to me. I finnaly saw that I wasn't the only one hurting.
    So I stopped being "emo" and to this day I listen to that song to remind myself that suicide is not the answer. It's just a selfish way to end your problems.
