Therapy
Jonathan Larson
[SUSAN (SPOKEN)]
Are you saying we can't talk?

[JON (SPOKEN)]
Are you saying we're not talking?

[SUSAN (SPOKEN)]
What are you saying?

[JON (SPOKEN)]
What are you saying?
I'm saying:

[JON]
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

[SUSAN]
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
[JON]
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

[SUSAN]
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

[JON]
I was wrong to---

[SUSAN]
Say you were wrong to---

[JON]
Say I was wrong about---

[SUSAN]
You being wrong

[JON]
When you rang to say that---
[SUSAN]
The ring was the wrong thing to bring---

[JON]
If I meant what I said
When I said, "Rings bored me"

[JON & SUSAN]
I'm not mad that you got mad that I got mad
When you said I should go drop dead

[JON]
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[JON][SUSAN]I feel bad, that you feel badI feel badlyAbout me feeling bad, about you feeling badabout youAbout what I said, about what you saidFeeling badly about meAbout me not being able to share a feelingFeeling badly about youI thought If I thought that what you thoughtyou thoughtWas that I hadn't thought about sharing my thoughtsI reacted shallowlyThen my reaction to your reaction, to my reactionWhen I reacted to youWould have been more revealingI'm not mad
You got madI'm not mad that you got mad that I got madGo drop deadWhen you said I should go drop deadIf I were you and I'd done what I'd doneIf I were youI'd do what you did
When I gave you the ringBut I'm not youHaving said what I saidSaid what I said[JON]
But now it's out in the open

[SUSAN]
Now it's off our chest

[JON & SUSAN]
Now it's 4AM
And we have therapy tomorrow
It's too late to screw
So let's just get some rest
Write the lyrics for a misc song made in 2001, titled "Therapy", by artist "Jonathan Larson".
