Lyrics of DEPRESSED by Anne-Marie
[Verse 1]
If You Ask A Stupid Question
Then You’ll Get A Stupid Answer
And If You Ask If I’m Okay, I’m Unhappy Ever After, Hmm
If You Ask Me How I’m Coping
I’m Like A Minute From Disaster
I Got So Damn Good At Pretending That I Could Win A Bafta
[Pre-Chorus]
My World’s Spinning The Wrong Way ’round
Yeah, I’m Smiling, But I’m Lowkey Down
Tryna Find Something To Laugh About, Oh
[Chorus]
Oh, Ain’t It Funny How
I Seem Fine, But I’m Depressed?
I Look So Pretty, But I’m A Mess
I Think I’m Immune To Happiness, Oh, Why?
Oh, Ain’t It Funny How
I Wanna Be Brave, I’m Terrified
To Get Myself Dressed And Go Outside
I Say I’m Okay, I’m Fine, All Jokes Aside
[Post-Chorus]
If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry, Cry, Cry
If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry, Cry, Cry, Cry, Cry
[Verse 2]
I Don’t Want No Conversation
I’m Not Good Around New People
I’d Rather Stick To What I Know And Watch Malcolm In The Middle
[Pre-Chorus]
Feeling Lonely When I’m In The Crowd
Treading Water Tryin’ Not To Drown
Tryna Find Something To Laugh About, Oh
[Chorus]
Oh, Ain’t It Funny How
I Seem Fine, But I’m Depressed?
I Look So Pretty, But I’m A Mess
I Think I’m Immune To Happiness, Oh, Why?
Oh, Ain’t It Funny How
Wanna Be Brave, I’m Terrified
To Get Myself Dressed And Go Outside
I Say I’m Okay, I’m Fine, All Jokes Aside
[Post-Chorus]
If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry, Cry, Cry
If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry, Cry, Cry, Cry, Cry
If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry All Night
If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry For The Rest Of My Fucking Life
The verses highlight the tension between wanting to appear brave and the terror of facing the world each day. Lines like “I got so damn good at pretending that I could win a BAFTA” emphasize the performative nature of hiding pain. The chorus drives home the irony—how someone can look pretty and appear okay while feeling broken inside. The song also touches on social anxiety, isolation, and the difficulty of connecting with others, offering a relatable narrative for those who have felt lost in their own minds. Fans on X and TikTok are already calling it a tearjerker, comparing its raw edge to “SAD B!TCH” but with a quieter, more introspective sting.
Musically, “DEPRESSED” balances somber themes with catchy melodies and moments of vulnerability, making it both an emotional confession and a listenable pop song. Anne-Marie’s open delivery and honest storytelling invite empathy, reminding listeners that behind smiles, some battles remain unseen.
