Give Me A Reason To Stay

They say staying positive will make all your pain go away.
But why is it that when I try to, it all turns to dismay?
It's like a nightmare I can never escape.
And now, my life's a big mistake.

Just give me a reason.
A reason I should be standing here.
Now, give me a reason.
A reason I shouldn't disappear.
This world is better without me.
And I'll finally be free.
But just give me, give me a reason to stay.

They're always telling me that I'll be alright.
That I should stay strong and keep living life.
But all I am is weak and I have nothing to live for.
I just can't take this anymore.

Just give me a reason.
A reason I should be standing here.
Now, give me a reason.
A reason I shouldn't disappear.
This world is better without me.
And I'll finally be free.
But just give me, give me a reason to stay.

Can I just be free?
Can I just be free?
Can I just be free?
Set me free!

Just give me a reason.
A reason I should be standing here.
Now, just give me a fucking reason.
A reason I shouldn't disappear.
This world is better without me.
And I'll finally be free.
But just give me, give me a reason to stay.

I wrote this a few months ago, when I was seriously depressed. It's basically about me wanting to kill myself and needing someone to give me a reason I shouldn't. I'm still really depressed, but I don't feel like killing myself. Anyways, I hope everyone enjoyed the song. No, I can't sing it. I have a terrible singing voice.
