The way I look at this song is more of a conversation than anything else. If you listen closely to the tone of the verses compared to te chorus, you can hear the difference in his voice. Also, the meaning of the verses show that the person is trying to talk his friend out of killing himself, whereas in the chorus, the person who may attempt suicide is giving excuses; "I threw a party in my name" says that he tried to reach out and talk to people, and become friends with them, "but the hours crawled by and no one came" means that he was turned away, and finally "so I bowed my head and I prayed for wings to take me from this place... from you" says that he wants to end his life becuse he is alone, but realizes that he is going to lose the one person that cared - the person he's talking to. Then, at the end, the friend is talking, saying that he doesn't care anymore, he tried, but the suicidal one won't listen. Just my $.02
