I've known you for a long time since age thirteen
Met you when my grandmother died and it still stings
Stuck around since middle school when the kids laughed at me
Slept over every night, became a normality

I would cry every Monday morning you were up first
Told me the sweetest dream I had is when the school burned
Barely made it out that place, glad to be gone though
You came with me to high school, where we both grow

Made a lot of friends but still a lot of hurt
You pour words in my ears made me question my worth
Couldn't tell my feelings to a girl that I liked
You said no girl wants a guy who fits in my size

So I listened to you, let you dictate my life
I figured you knew what was best and never told a lie
My cries in the morning became cries of the night
You said you were my friend and everything would be alright

Hook:
You held me with hands so cold
Never heard your heart all I felt was bone
Face under a hood and I never saw your eyes
Didn't know if you was even really alive
You said you'll always be there faithfully
When the truth is you always really hated me
Wanted me to break and put my life to an end
For so many years I would call you my friend

Verse 2:

Went into a church and I felt you ain't like it
We sat down with heads down I chose to be quiet
Really didn't care about that book they were reading
I knew about Jesus and why he was bleeding

You told my that I wasn't worth his time so why pray
You told me there judging me and I should stay away
You acted real strange when the pastors would pray
And after service ends we were first to go away

I got a little smarter more mature as I aged
And realized your goal was to see me in the grave
Shovel in your hand and your presence familiar
I keep letting you in so it's hard to get rid of ya'

I hate you for everything you've put me through
I can't believe all these years I've slept with you
You were never my friend only my worst enemy
So Depression, this is goodbye , love Willie

Hook:
You held me with hands so cold
Never heard your heart all I felt was bone
Face under a hood and I never saw your eyes
Didn't know if you was even really alive
You said you'll always be there faithfully
When the truth is you always really hated me
Wanted me to break and put my life to an end
For so many years I would call you my friend
