Best of Me
Depression, I and you shall be
Together for all eternity.
In sickness you shall be right here
In health you won’t disappear
We will conquer all,
Friend and foe
You and I together watch us roam
Now let’s find a place to call home.
But with you around I can’t work,
All our bills will start to grow
But you’ll be there no matter what
I know that you are my rock
Off to the council,
Disabled they say
That’s a nifty £800 your way
Depression, now we have a say
As years pass by Depression stays strong
I however realise this was so wrong
Where did my life go, who’s to know?
Depression, why didn't you tell me so
Tell me that I would die
Tell me that I had to cry
Tell me my life would end
Tell me that you weren't my friend
As a lay in my coffin,
Friends do pass
Each one looking
Behind a mask
They know your there,
There scared of you see
After all that you did to me
Depression, now you have to leave
So off you go, to the next
They won’t know what to expect
Al I can say as you leave
Is Depression you took the best of me.
