It started off small, then it turned into a week or two or three
Everything is getting worse quick and you can't be happy
People say they've had it worse than you
But don't realize they're coercing you
To think your depression is all your fault
And trying to get help feels like talking to a wall
But I guess a fake smile is better than not one at all
If you're looking for someone to bring you down, you've found her.
They call me Debbie Downer, call me Debbie Downer
No one wants to be around her, call me Debbie Downer
Everything I say is so dark and depressing
I don't give them their sugar coated dressing
So when I express my feelings truthfully,
They act like something's wrong with me
When your room feels like a prisoner cell
Stuck between a rock and a hard place in hell
Treated like furniture, they just degrade you
You're moved to wherever they'll place you
I'd like to see you try it and let it not phase you
But they don't care about how you really feel
Honesty, to them, doesn't have the same appeal
You're not as fun anymore, so you're not ideal
If you're looking for someone to bring you down, you've found her.
They call me Debbie Downer, call me Debbie Downer
No one wants to be around her, call me Debbie Downer
Everything I say is so dark and depressing
I don't give them their sugar coated dressing
So when I express my feelings truthfully,
They act like something's wrong with me
And if you have nothing positive to say, just don't speak
Even when every day is looking bleak
And you've spent this whole week
Needing help, but you only get this critique
Now suddenly you're drowning
In this issue you're found in
And people saying to lighten up
Just aren't bright enough
To see that you're not some awful pessimist
You're just trying to make it through this
If you're looking for someone to bring you down, you've found her.
They call me Debbie Downer, call me Debbie Downer
No one wants to be around her, call me Debbie Downer
Everything I say is so dark and depressing
I don't give them their sugar coated dressing
So when I express my feelings truthfully,
They act like something's wrong with me

Songs I Wrote
ПоэзияHere are some songs I wrote. The ones that end in (Old Song) are ones I wrote when I was 14. They're not all that good, but I thought it'd be cool to have my old songs here alongside my new ones. I think it shows how much I've changed and improved...
