Depression Lyrics by Ben Kweller

Cover The Mirrors

0

I'd love to join you but I just can't try
I'll be cemented here deep in my depression
And laughing is a waste of time
I come and go you know I'm hit or miss
And even when I'm up I can't shake this depression
It's like living is a waste of time

Maybe I just haven't waited long enough
For everything to be okay
I used to pretend that I was strong and tough
But I can't even get through the day
Hey, hey

I see my reflection and I start to cry
I take a bite it gets me high oh my, obsession
With feeling is a waste of time
The summer air is dancing on my skin
I see your face again, it leaves quite an impression
But ownership's a waste of time

Maybe I just haven't waited long enough
For everything to be okay
I don't have the energy to suck it up
And hide all these feeling away
Hey, hey

This is how my tears bottled up for years fill up the sea
Oh, shaking off the dust back when I was just happy to be
A new day's coming
A new day's coming for me
