Depression came back knocking,
He's lingering at the door.
I try, pretend like I'm not home; wanting so badly to ignore.

He knows I'm there, he's laughing; he tells me I can't hide.
He knows like always, he'll soon be back inside.

He'll push, and push upon the door; knowing it will soon open.
He laughs, laughs knowing; he is a lethal weapon.

I try, try to stop him; the door is bolted shut.
He laughs, laughs knowing; the door is thin enough to cut.

He found his way inside; like he always, always does.
I cry, cry missing; how things before him was.

And he laughs, laughs knowing; I'll never be completely happy again.

If your love was the rain, my heart would be the flower.

If I don't have you, it will wither away.

Long ago the sun was cold, her heart was caged with wire-
She let her heart loose, for the one that she desired.
He said he wouldn't hurt her, but he was a liar-
See, the sun was like the moon, before her heart caught fire.

I've made so many agreements, none of which I could keep-
I've ruined so many, so I can't sleep.
I told someone I wouldn't harm myself more-
I told them that I'd stop, but that just tore.
I've agreed to that so many times, no longer can I keep track-
For if I had a penny for each, I would have a huge stack.

I told somebody recently, I told them I would try-
Though often, the thoughts do pry.
My skin itches for it, it's hard to say no-
But then I think of him, and the word bursts out like a volcano.
I want to stop for him, and one day I will-
So for him, and him alone; the promise will be fulfilled.

I lay here wide awake; yet sleeping all the same.
I'm paralyzed, I can't move; my eyes remain forward.

I know there's someone in my room; but I can't even see them.
And though the mirror by my bed; I'm facing it, only I see nobody reflected.

Maybe it's due to the flashbacks; my past, it haunts me so.
The memories became paranoia; I know it's all in my head.

I feel them walking toward me; for what reason, I know not.
All I know is they're maybe there, lurking; and I can't move to confirm.

The past is like a predator, I'm the unsuspecting prey.
It lurks in the night, waiting for any happiness to stray.

You run away from it, soon you think you're secure.
But it leaps from night and you'll know, there is no cure.

It leaps with a flashback, and that's how it gets you to crack.
Cause when it leaps, it causes a panic attack.

Once the past stalks once, it always will.
So until you cease to exist, it's a predator still.

I talk about you all the time-
Your ears, they must be ringing.
I just can't get you off my mind-
Cause ****, you're so intriguing.

You even haunt my every dreams-
But hey, I can't complain.
Cause even though this sounds mainstream-
I'm glad that you remain.

I love to make you smile, it's one of my favorite things-
You even try to fight it, but never do succeed.
I don't think you realize, to me how much joy that brings-
Cause on a scale of one to ten, the number way exceeds.

Your voice is more than my favorite song, I could listen forever-
Though I wouldn't want to sing along, cause your voice is so much better.
I think I could stay happy, for as long as we're together-
Cause babe when I'm with you, I feel as light as a feather.
