Lyrics
When they told me
Receiving news or information
That you had to go away
A realization that you are leaving
There was nothing I could do to keep you here
A sense of powerlessness in preventing the departure
I was standing on the rooftop of a hospital in Baltimore
Physically positioned on a hospital rooftop in Baltimore
Losing my religion and my youth
Experiencing a loss of faith and youthful vigor
I thought I'd never love again
Belief in never experiencing love again
And I did not even care to see my friends
Lack of interest in reconnecting with friends
How would I ever smile again
Doubt about regaining the ability to smile
This depression is a monster
Depression described as a formidable force
But I'm still alive to see the light of day
Survival and witnessing the dawn of a new day
When they told me
Being informed of the necessity to release someone
That I had to let you go
Difficulty expressing the emotions associated with letting go
Words could not describe my feelings
Inability to convey the depth of emotions felt
You will never know
The person leaving may never comprehend the emotions
standing on the rooftop of a hospital in Baltimore
Physically positioned on a hospital rooftop in Baltimore (repeated)
Losing my religion and my youth
Experiencing a loss of faith and youthful vigor (repeated)
I thought I'd never love again
Belief in never experiencing love again (repeated)
And I did not even care to see my friends
Lack of interest in reconnecting with friends (repeated)
How would I ever smile again
Doubt about regaining the ability to smile (repeated)
This depression is a monster
Depression described as a formidable force (repeated)
But I'm still alive to see the light of day
Survival and witnessing the dawn of a new day (repeated)
I thought I'd never love again
Reiteration of the belief in never experiencing love again
And I did not even care to see my friends
Reiteration of lack of interest in reconnecting with friends
How would I ever smile again
Reiteration of doubt about regaining the ability to smile
This depression is a monster
Reiteration of depression described as a formidable force
But I'm still alive to see the light of day
Reiteration of survival and witnessing the dawn of a new day
