[English]

Getting even, getting sad

Getting really fucking mad

When I should be over it

I'm venting words filled with rage

Spilling poison on the page

When I should be focusing

And once it's out, it feels like therapy

But all you get to see is the worst of me

It feels fine when I'm sleeping

But waking up just feels demeaning

And I hate the thought of feeling

'Cause deep down I need some healing

(Woah woah woah)

Feels like therapy

(Woah woah woah)

Give me what I need, therapy

Is it you, is it me

No, I think it's everything

That's got me losing it

I wanna write how I feel

But then suddenly it's real

And I start to realise

That this is it this is therapy

And all you'll ever see if the worst of me

It feels fine when I'm sleeping

But waking up just feels demeaning

And I hate the thought of feeling

'Cause deep down I need some healing

(Woah woah woah)

Feels like therapy

(Woah woah woah)

Give me what I need, therapy

Getting even, getting sad

Getting really fucking mad

When I should be over it

Venting words filled with rage

Spilling poison on the page

When I should be focusing

...

(Woah woah woah)

Feels like therapy

(Woah woah woah)

Give me what I need

It feels fine when I'm sleeping (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

But waking up just feels demeaning (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

And I hate the thought of feeling

'Cause deep down I need some healing

(Woah woah woah)

Feels like therapy

(Woah woah woah)

Give me what I need, therapy

...
