Justin Bieber further elaborated on this statement saying that he felt as if the pain won't simply just go away.

The pop star then revealed that he was just suffering all through the time and wanted it to stop. In the video, Justin said that he would rather not feel anything than feel low all through it, thus implying that ending his life seemed to be a better option for him at that time.
However, the singer did not dive much deep into the subject of suicide but revealed that it was something that had crossed his mind in the past.
