Hello depression, my old friend
You tear me up and leave me cold
And yet with you, I'm strangely whole
You are my missing pieces
You complete my soul

Like jilted lovers, we to and fro
I push you far, you pull me near
You tell me truths I hate to hear
But, it is the silences I most fear

You know me more that I know myself
Revealing what I could not face
Reminding me it's not always safe
You show to me that darker side

In many ways you stole my youth
You took away that little girl
The one who sung and skipped and danced
In her eyes, so much light

You snuffed that out
You snuffed it quick
Is it better just to be alive?
And fear the world we live inside

I know you tried to keep me safe
There were dangers from whom I couldn't hide
But at what cost is this life?
I sacrificed my hope

You took my light and made it dark
You taint my view, you shield my eyes
Hello depression, my life long pal
I think it's time we parted ways
Saying farewell to the black dog that was by my side throughout my adolescence
