Depressions Lover

Depression accepted me and has always been there by my side
Came to me when I was alone and scared in my life
We were basically lovers, wouldn't let each other go
Depression told me it loved me when it stared in my eyes

Depression had a hold of me for so long, I found comfort in its arms
I was able to smile even though it was causing me harm
We became friends and I found Joy in my pain
Dragged through the mud, but I loved being the Boy in the rain

It was the only thing that made me feel like I mattered
Even though it beat me down, it held together what was shattered
It made me act reckless and appear crazy
But I was thankful for the company it gave Me

I've been depressions lover, but I'm finally breaking free
Took me so long to realize it was breaking me
I was beat down and made to believe I couldn't survive without it
But here I am, finally trying to live a life without it
