I've been holding back
A thousand tears
that want to flow
I keep them well hidden
So no one ever knows
I shrug it off
Wear a stupid grin
I don't want depression
To sneak back in
I just can't
I won't let it win
But here it goes
Seeping on in
Its pointing fingers
Reminding me of all my sins Keeping tabs of
all of the that I lost
Rerunning memories
Precious time was the cost
Before I know it
Depression has hit me
Like a ton of bricks
Thinking of all the betrayal
Makes me sick
I wanna slap my face like Cher does in Moonstruck
Snap out of it
Snap out of it
I tell myself
You were young
You've learned lessons
Give yourself a day
Sadness is ok
You're stronger than this
Just like I always do
I pick up the pieces
off the bedroom floor
Dry my eyes
Run out the door
Because depression
Is not welcome here anymore
That's the past
The future is all
That I have to live for
Depression is gone
For now
