Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song because I found out a vast majority of my friends were depressed, suicidal, cutting, anorexic, etc. at the same time. It really affected me emotionally. I wanted to create an anthem for those who have had depression so that they know that they are not alone.

Song Description

This song is about depression and suicide that comes along with bullying.

Lyrics

I know I get under that skin of yours
You want me to leave but that's immature
And I see all the cuts and I see all the bruises
Keep it to myself so I won't lose it

So here's to us
For all the memories we'll never make
And here's to us
For all the times we've lost our faith
Here's to you
To her
You don't get what you deserve
So here's to us

You see him smile when he wants to cry
Your words hurt more than the cold of the knife
And he sees all the cuts and he sees all the bruises
Keeps it to himself so he won't lose it

So here's to us
For all the memories we'll never make
And here's to us
For all the times we've lost our faith
Here's to you
To him
In this world, you sink or swim
So here's to us

And she's tossing and she's turning and she won't go to bed
She'd rather stay up and cry instead
They always said I hope your dreams come true
But don't forget that nightmares are dreams too


So here's to us
For all the memories we'll never make
And here's to us
For all the times we've lost our faith
Here's to you
To them
They had to end, so we could begin
So here's to them
