Depression Had A Hold On Me

Hmm, ohhh

(Verse 1)
I used to think anger was all I possessed,
A storm inside, a never-ending fight,
But I was so wrong, living in the dimmest light,
Hiding who I was put me to the test.

Ohhhh Yeah, 

(Chorus)
I never knew depression had a hold on me,
Thought I could bottle it up, strong and tall. 
But behind the anger, I was about to fall,
Now I know, it was depression that I couldn’t see. 

Hmm, 

(Verse 2)
Demons I battled, year after year,
Didn’t want to talk, just kept it all inside,
Being mean to the people I cherished most. 
Tried to bury my feelings, fueled by fear.

Ohh, 

(Chorus)
I never knew depression had a hold on me,
Thought I could bottle it up, strong and tall,
But behind the anger, I was about to fall,
Now I know, it was depression that took its toll on mee. 

(Verse 3)
Long arguments with my wife, a painful sting,
Years went by, with lies and distractions,
I was heading down a dark attraction,
But my family is the reason I need to change.

(Bridge)
I found a therapist, a perfect match,
He showed me words could set my spirit free,
I could write my feelings, for you and me,

Ohh,

(Outro)
If you're fighting darkness, don't be afraid to reach,
There's help out there, a light to guide your way,
Don't let depression steal another day,

“Or it could end your life or your family. “

Ohhhh yeah
