There's a frame on my wall
that's been there since I can remember
it never changes expression
except for when depression is present
it tends to look older
and you thought that that was funny
but I told you it's not funny
it seems to just make me feel sad
to think I was happy
because I was younger
you laughed and then told me you were glad

that I will hold your hand through the rougher part of town
and I will put my arm around your shoulders
until you are on the bus

There's a voice in my head
that's been there since I can remember
it never changes expression
except for when depression is present
it seems to scream louder
and I know that it sounds crazy
but it's always been inside me
this heavy weight in my bones
I'm not sure how you're happy
with somebody like me
but you smiled and told me that you know

That I will hold your hair until you are done throwing up
and I will pick you up and put you to bed
until you have sobered up

I know that
you will hold my head in your hands
when the world just feels too big
and you will kiss my cheek
and hold me tightly
until I can get back up
until I feel well enough
until we have woken up

There's a part of my life
That I think I'll always remember
