Dear Depression (2024/2026)
[VERSE ONE]
Tumbled down like a fallen stone
Carried shadows that chilled the bone
A broken voice screaming but silent
A troubled mind with thoughts so violent
Darkness pressed down on my chest
Sleepless nights stole what was left
I can’t remember who I am
Feeling weak – I can barely stand
[PRE-CHORUS ONE]
And my whole life
Isn’t what I thought it’d be
It’s all fallen apart
Mmm, I’ve fallen apart
[CHORUS]
Oh, Dear Depression
What have you got for me today?
I was hoping to feel okay
For a change
‘Cause Dear Depression
I’m worn out (x3)
[VERSE TWO]
Isolating – feeling lonely
Painful memories that haunt me
A ghost stuck in my own routine
Failing to grasp reality
Replaying speeches I can’t unsay
Fighting to find the will to live each day
I’m scared this is all I know
I’m scared to be alone
[PRE-CHORUS TWO]
And my whole life
Doesn’t seem to mean a thing
It’s all fallen apart
Mmm, I’ve fallen apart
[CHORUS]
Oh, Dear Depression
What have you got for me today?
I was hoping to feel okay
For a change
‘Cause Dear Depression
I’m worn out (x3)
[BRIDGE]
Scars etched too deep to fade
Visual reminders of thoughts engraved
Any peace I had been searching for
Has been locked in a bureau drawer
‘Cause I don’t deserve it
No, I don’t deserve it
Oh, I don’t deserve it
I'm not worth it
[PRE-CHORUS THREE]
And my whole life
Isn’t worth a single thing
It’s all fallen apart
Mmm, I’ve fallen apart
[CHORUS]
Oh, Dear Depression
What have you got for me today?
I was hoping to feel okay
For a change
‘Cause Dear Depression
I’m worn out (x3)
