Her Depression Lives In Me

Her Depression Lives in Me


Behind your smile, I can see the tears. 
Inside my heart, I can feel your fears.

In your eyes, I can see your broken dreams. I know how desperate it all seems. 

Behind your strength I can see your despair. Inside my soul, I feel that isn't fair. In your voice, I can hear your pain.

I know you are struggling to stay sane.
I need you to know that you matter to me. 

When I look at you, I believe in what I see. I need you to feel my love for you.

Giving up on you is something I'll never do. 

Listen to my words: I care for you. Look into my eyes and you'll see it's true. 

I will fight on your side. I know you want to be free. Please, don't let depression take you away from me.
