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

Till 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

The great depression

The great depression

The great depression

The great depression
