The Great Depression

The Great Depression
You said we were done
You didn’t need me anymore
I stood with roses and promises at your door
You said I’d failed you and I’d abused your trust
The dream that was our love had turned to dust
I’ve made my mistakes
And I’ll make my confession
But you’re still gone, gone, gone

This is the great depression
The great depression
The great depression
The great depression
You said true love can always find its way
If two hearts are meeting in good faith
You said that I had thrown that faith away
For some cheap and easy game that I played
I squandered our fortunes
And threw away our blessings
’Til love was gone, gone, gone
This is the great depression
The great depression
The great depression
The great depression
There ain’t no easy way to turn this all out
For all the heartbreak and the bottom dropping out
There ain’t no easy answer for what it’s all about
It’s too late to turn back now
Some people they treat love as if it’s a game
And let that sunshine turn to rain
Some people destroy the things they built so carefully
Until their love is lost and hangin’ on barely
Well, this is my story
Of how everything good in my possession
Was lost, lost, lost

This is the great depression
The great depression
The great depression
The great depression
