Lyrics & Translation

[English]

He said

"Take a seat over there on the chair by the couch

Tell me what you been thinking about

There's nothing you can say that's out of bounds

You can trust me, swear I'm here for you now"

I've heard it all before, he took out his pen

But as he wrote down each, each thing that I said

Oh, well, the mood just changed

He started acting strange

This was our next exchange

He said

"I'll tell you what, I'm sorry, but I don't think I can be

Of any help, think I need help now" is what he said to me

Might even need it more than me now, oh, the irony

I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy

"I'll tell you what, I'm sorry, but I thought I'd never see

A case as bad as yours, don't think I have a remedy," mm

Think he needs help now, oh, the irony

I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy (therapy, therapy)

So I got up from the chair where I sat by the couch

He said to me, "Could you sit back down?"

And I could see as I turn around

Really needed someone he could talk to now, said

"Thought that I'd seen it all, turns out I was wrong

Wish I could help you out, you'll have to be strong"

Oh, well, the mood just changed

He started acting strange

This was our next exchange

He said

"I'll tell you what, I'm sorry, but I don't think I can be

Of any help, think I need help now" is what he said to me

Might even need it more than me now, oh, the irony

I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy

"I'll tell you what I'm sorry but I thought I'd never see

A case as bad as yours, don't think I have a remedy," mm

Think he needs help now, oh, the irony

I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy

I'm so messed up, I'm so messed up, I'm so messed up now

I'm so messed up, I'm so messed up, I'm so messed up now

I'm so messed up, can't you see?

I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy

I went out yesterday to get food from the store

And ran into the man from before

Right by the exit door, he stopped me to talk

Said that he went to go and look for some help

A funny thing happened and I said, "Do tell"

Oh, and the story is, mm

My doctor found a doctor and His doctor told him (told him, told him)

"I'll tell you what, I'm sorry, but I don't think I can be

Of any help, think I need help now" is what he said to me

Might need it more now than me, oh, the irony

I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy

"I'll tell you what, I'm sorry, but I thought I'd never see

A case as bad as yours, don't think I have a remedy," mm

Think he needs help now, oh, the irony

I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
