Eternity
Depression affects every part of my life—even my very happy marriage.
Sometimes I wonder how I can live like this.
Sometimes I think I should call it quits.
But your love keeps me going strong..
And every time I am feeling blue,
I remember what I promised you when I said I do.
I promised you eternity.
I said your love had set me free.
With a smile on my face and hope in your eyes,
Our future it seemed so bright.
So I will bite my tongue.
Keep biting till I taste blood.
Fake a smile and push on through.
Keep holding tight onto your hand.
Even when the light seems dim…
I will remember what I promised you.
I promised you eternity.
Said your love had set me free.
Sometimes I know we’re gonna fight…
But I will still lay close to you all night.
I promised you eternity.
That’s what you’re gonna get from me.
