Well this is my first attempt at lyrics. It would probably make more since one you hear the song and the way they fall but the way I envision it is to be an acoustic song haha. It is suppose to have like a sad guitar...I don't know i am just rambling. Anyways my first attempt.

I realize there are a lot of things which probably would fit better but this was put together as a rough, rough draft so enjoy them for now lol. I appreciate any type of criticism and all edits will be considered.

Things to look at. The pre-chorus just feels awkward to me at points but idk. I will try to update frequently

lyrics:
[first verse]
Depression, It’s a killing pain
Like a knife stab through your chest
Or a bullet to your brain
But don’t fret, every thing's fine
You say this to yourself
But it won’t get you through every time

[pre-chorus]
Why must we feel such sorrow?
Why must we be betrayed?
What is the purpose of these things?
Why must my tears be in vain?

[chorus]
Why can’t I just be numb?
Just want to waste away the pain
I don’t want to feel this hurt anymore
So just give me cocaine and I will heal away

[second verse]
Since When did feeling become a good thing for me
Why must I have these pains?
Emotions just hold you back from feeling
better then the person yesterday

[pre-chorus]
Why must we feel such sorrow?
Why must we be betrayed?
What is the purpose of these things?
Why must my tears be in vain?

[chorus]
Why can’t I just be numb?
Just want to waste away the pain
I don’t want to feel this hurt anymore
So just give me cocaine and I will heal away

[closer]
With every bit I take
My pain slowly dissipates
And I can feel a fake happiness inside
But life will never change
Addiction comes my way
A new one begins as one subsides
These drugs are all same
they never end my pain
And now I found a reason to die

I really like the pre chorus...

Anything else. Can anyone critic?
