Don't Confuse My Depression With Despair

Don't confuse my depression with despair.
Don't think me abnormal, don't think me mad
If my tears should flow when there's no-one there.

Don't think me cruel, selfish, unaware;
It hurts me to turn your good mood to bad.
Don't confuse my depression with despair.

I'm sorry this silence is all I share,
But don't call me insane when I'm just sad&;#8230;
If my tears should flow when there's no-one there.

And I'm not lying to you when I swear
That I can't recall the joy that we had.
Don't confuse my depression with despair.

So don't hate me for saying 'it's not fair',
But can you see the pain with which I'm clad
If my tears should flow when there's no-one there?

Why won't you hold me and tell me you care?
You're so unhappy when I need you glad.
Don't confuse my depression with despair
If my tears should flow when there's no-one there.
