Therapy Songtext
von Jonathan Larson

Are you saying we can′t talk?

Are you saying we are not... talking?

What are you saying?

What are you saying?
I'm saying:

I feel bad, that you feel bad
About me feeling bad, about you feeling bad
About what I said, about what you said
About me not being able to share a feeling

If I thought that what you thought
Was that I hadn′t thought about sharing my thoughts
Then my reaction to your reaction
To my reaction
Would have been more revealing

I was afraid that you'd be afraid
If I told you that I was afraid of intimacy

If you don't have a problem with my problem
Maybe the problem is simply co-dependency


Yes I know that now you know
That I didn′t know that you didn′t know
That when I said "No"
I meant "Yes, I know"
And that now I know that you knew
That you knew you adored me

I was wrong to

Say you were wrong to

Say I was wrong about

You being wrong

When you rang to say that

The ring was the wrong thing to bring

If I meant what I said
When I said "rings bore me"

I'm not mad that you got mad that I got mad
When you said I should go drop dead

If I were you and I′d done what I'd done
I′d do what you did when I gave you the ring
Having said what I said

I feel bad, that you feel bad (I feel...)
About me feeling bad, about you feeling bad (...badly about...)
About what I said, about what you said (...you feeling...)
About me not being able to share a feeling (...badly about me, feel badly about you...)


If I thought that what you thought (I tho-...)
Was that I hadn't thought about sharing my thoughts (...-ught you thought I reac-...)
Then my reaction to your reaction (...-ted sha-...)
To my reaction (...-llow-.)
Would have been more revealing (...-ly When I reacted to you)

I′m not mad
(I'm not mad)
That you got mad that I got mad (You got mad)
When you say I should go drop dead (Go drop dead)

If I were you and I'd done what I′d done (if I were you...)
I′d do what you did when I gave you the ring (But I'm not you...)
Having said what I said (Said what I said)

But now it′s out in the open

Now it's off our chest

Now it′s four am
And we have therapy tomorrow
It's too late to screw
So lets just get some rest
