This Can't Be Forever

I've always thought since the day my depression was born
It would go away
But sadly it hasn't

I've tried wishing
I've tried hoping
I'm afraid I've lost hope

But this can't be forever
I'm in tears again when I say
This can't be forever
Why does MY life have to be this way

Where did I turn left instead of right?
Where did I say yes instead of no?
Was there one choice I made?
That made my happiness go

All I know is that pretty soon I can't just sit and wait
And just cry
And take this hate

I have to get up
I have to try hard
I have to do something
Because this can't be forever

I won't let it be
And if it is
I'll never be the true me

This can't be forever
I say
This can't be forever
Why doesn't it just go away?
