Ky Baldwin - Depression is a Monster

She was broken
Not softly-spoken
She carried a pain that we couldn't see
But beneath that fantasy
She was all alone

She was faking
Her heart was breaking
Did I tell her she was everything to me
That I'm right here and that she
She was not alone

Depression is a monster that takes your heart as prey
While it leaves you drowning and takes your breath away
Now it's too late to save the day

It could be your mothers son
It could be your fathers daughter (anyone)
The funny guy at school
The girl you thought was the one
You're more than a memory
You know you took a part of me
(part of me)

You were my beautiful bird
Left me with broken wings
Now I can't fly with you

She was falling
Just tryna hold-on
To a world that held her promises
A broken thread of confidence
Is all she's never known

Depression is a monster
That leaves your heart to waste
While it leaves you drowning
And takes your breath away
Now it's too late to save the day

It could be your mother's son
It could be your father's daughter (anyone)
The funny guy at school
The girl you thought was the one
You're more than a memory
You know you took a part of me (part of me)
You were my beautiful bird
Left me with broken wings

Now I can't fly with you

It's 8 months to the day
Since I found you where you lay
With a note saying you were not ok
Self-loathing and despair
Hidden pages we were unaware
And a heart that just can't repair

Now it's too late You've gone away

It could be your mother's son
It could be your father's daughter (anyone)
The funny guy at school
The girl you thought was the one
You're more than a memory
You know you took a part of me (part of me)

You were my beautiful bird
left me with broken wings

It's time to face the truth

I'll never fly with you
