My Best Friend

Depression is my best friend
 Because he's always there for me
Every time I need him
 And he never turns his back on me

When I need somebody to talk to 
 I can always count on him to listen 
And he brings me up
 When I'm feeling down

He's there to hold me
 Every time I cry
And he's there to make me laugh
 When I'm having a bad day

I don't know what I would do
 Without my best friend
I probably wouldn't be here
 If it wouldn't be for him
