Takes everything from me

Verse 1
Depression takes everything from me
Colors fade into what I can’t see
Days feel long but the years disappear
I’m still stuck where I was last year
My anxiety builds invisible walls
Every “maybe” just turns into “not at all”
I wanted to meet you, I wanted to try
But fear kept whispering, “don’t, just hide”
Pre-Chorus
And I’ve been fighting battles no one knows
Smiling while I’m breaking down slow
Chorus
It takes, it takes, it takes everything
Every hope, every little dream
I tried so hard just to be okay
But it keeps pulling me away
And I’m tired of losing me
Verse 2
Addiction calling like an old friend’s voice
Telling me I never had a choice
Old habits creeping back in my skin
After everything it took to quit them
I walked so far just to get out alive
Now I’m scared I won’t survive
The silence gets too loud at night
And I forget how hard I used to fight
Pre-Chorus
They said I’d be safe, I’d be understood
But I’m alone here just like I knew I would
Chorus
It takes, it takes, it takes everything
Every hope, every little dream
I tried so hard just to be okay
But it keeps pulling me away
And I’m tired of losing me
Bridge
And the clinic doors close behind
But they leave me alone with my mind
They know I can’t do this alone
Still I’m fighting it on my own
And while I’m trying not to break
Time is stealing you away
Your memory fading day by day
And I don’t know how to make you stay
Soft Breakdown
I can’t lose you, not like this
Not to something I can’t fix
Final Chorus
It takes, it takes, it takes everything
Every breath, every fragile thing
I’m holding on but slipping away
Begging just to see one better day
Before there’s nothing left of me
Outro
Depression takes everything from me…
But I’m still here, barely breathing
