Depression
He stands to see
His life
He stands to be
Something more than he tries
But every time
He comes around
She shoots him down
He falls into love so easily
And can’t find his way out
Cause sooner or later
We all get trapped
The things we say
And the ways we act
She stands with arms open
Her nails cut him to the bone
The signs of depression
They welcome him home
She knows he loves her
He just can’t bring himself to say
How much he needs her
He just can’t turn his eyes away
She stands to see
A lonely boy looking into her eyes
She stands to see
A lonely boy in love
She stands to see
His heart pounding
A picture of perfect love
Just like the dreams she lets slid away
She stands with arms open
Her nails cut him to the bone
The signs of depression
They welcome him home
What leads us to love?
What grabbed him by the hand?
What leads to love?
For what can he stand?
