This Depression Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, I've been down, but never this down
I've been lost, but never this lost

[Chorus]
This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart

[Verse 2]
Baby, I've been low, but never this low
I’ve had my faith shaken but never hopeless

[Chorus]
This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart

[Verse 3]
I haven't always been strong, but never felt so weak
All of my prayers, gone for nothing
I've been without love, but never forsaken
Now the morning sun, the morning sun is breaking
See Bruce Springsteen Live
Get tickets as low as $58
[Chorus]
This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart
This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart
This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
