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

This is the great depression The great depression The great depression The great depression

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
