Therapy Lyrics

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’s 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 I 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 bored me”

I’m not mad, that you got mad, when 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 badly)
About me feeling bad, about you feeling bad (about you)
About what I said, about what you said (feeling badly about me)
About me not being able to share a feeling (feeling badly about you)

I thought (if I thought that what you thought)
You thought (was that I hadn’t thought about sharing my thoughts)
I reacted shallowly (then my reaction to your reaction, to my reaction)
When I reacted to you (would have been more revealing)

I’m not mad, that you got mad, when I got mad
When you said I should 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)
