I think you are all forgetting an important section of the lyrics. "hold me in your arms and let me be the one who can feel like i am a child in love" how can it be about suicide, anyway? elizabeth hadn't committed suicide by this time she was just severely depressed. she was just a beautiful freak. i think it's about love but the feeling of complete helplessness in a relationship because the other party is just so down all the time. it's so hard. i know because i am that person that's down all the time. i know how much of a downer it is and the other person just wants to feel like you love them.

this definitley isn't about suicide but it isn't really a love song either though you could sing it to your girlfriend and she'd probably love it
