Just give me a reason

Just give me a reason
A chance to deceive
A moment to pause
Or a second to breathe

I just need a reason
No more of these lies
So I can understand
Why everyone cries

Did I make them hurt
And bring them to tears
Am I the ill cause
Of all of their fears

I run to the dark
And sleep in my pain
I drown in my sorrow
Self-harm once again

Just give me a reason
For this to begin
Because I am afraid
That depression will win

I just need a reason
That will clear the air
That will give me hope
And once again care

Always being asked
What made me this way
Why I cut myself
And cry everyday

But I find no answers
Where they’re meant to be
The truth is hidden
It’s not intended for me

Just give me a reason
I have become like this
What didn’t I notice?
What was it I missed?

I just need a reason
Wasn’t bullied or raped
Just turned to depression
As a form of escape

Someone please tell me
What is happening
Why the demons follow
At night to me they sing

I need an answer soon
Before it is too late
I’m running in circles
Trying to avoid my fate

Just give me a reason
Why I am this sad
I’m afraid of falling
It’s driving me mad

I just need a reason
Into darkness I descend
But tell me the reason
And maybe it will end
