This is a great song about chronic forms of depression. It's incredibly simple but vivdly illustrates two things that the loved-ones of sufferers need to understand.
First, people tend to ask what happened to make someone feel depressed, but some people feel depressed because of a chronic medical condition that has little to do with events in their lives. "Woke up depressed" is about the simplest way to say this. This person began the day feeling depressed before anything could have happened to make them depressed.
Second, misunderstandings about the cause of someone's depression can make others feel like they aren't appreciated or just aren't good enough themselves to make their relative or friend happy. In this song, the depressed person knows this and wants to explain: "It's not your fault. I know it hurts. Remember I love you."
