The second great depression  Lasted longer than I figured  It stuck around and lingered  Surrounded me and conquered    The second great depression  Left me cold and withered  In your eyes I see it mirrored  I can't believe I let it happen    I thought about it a million times  When you maintained nothing but smile  Remember all those days  I thought about it a million times  When you maintained nothing but smile  When forgiveness was the best  Just forget about the rest    The second great depression  I've tried so hard to shake it  Collapse or come together  What happened to forever?    The second great depression (The second great depression)  Lasted longer than I figured (Lasted longer than I figured)  It stuck around and lingered (It stuck around and lingered)  Divided me and conquered    I thought about it a million times  When you maintained nothing but smile  Remember all those days  I thought about it a million times  When you maintained nothing but smile  When forgiveness was the best  Just forget about the rest    I thought about it a million times  When you maintained nothing but smile  Remember all those days  I thought about it a million times  When you maintained nothing but smile  When forgiveness was the best  Just forget about the rest
