You know, I don′t know why
But everything about you seems comfortable to me
Feel like I'm the one
Feel like I′m the only one
Everything else seems small

Babe, I don't know why
But everything about you seems realest to me
Feel like I'm the man
Feel like I′m your only man

And we can get through it all

I don′t wanna need ya
But I don't wanna leave ya
I just wanna see ya, feel ya
And be real, yah

I just don′t know how to love you
Just don't know how to be
Committed to ya, baby
So effortlessly

I just don′t know how to love you
The way you need to be
'Cause I been around
And I been run down, yeah

I need therapy
Therapy, therapy
I need therapy
Therapy, therapy

Sometimes I′m alone late night
Thinkin' 'bout the mess I got inside
Ruin the illusion of your Paradise
Sayin′ I won′t change my mind

But I don't wanna lead ya on
I might wanna be the one
I just wanna see ya, feel ya
And be real, yah

I just don′t know how to love you
Just don't know how to be
Committed to ya, baby
So effortlessly

I just don′t know how to love you
The way you need to be
'Cause I been around
And I been run down, yeah

I need therapy
Therapy, therapy
I need therapy
Therapy, therapy

Maybe all I need is a pill or two
A sit down conversation or new attitude
But, if there′s a possibility of losing you
I'll do what I need

What I need (don't know how to love you, you)
Oh, oh-oh (don′t know how to be)
Therapy

I need therapy (o-oh, yeah)
Therapy, therapy
I need therapy (do, do, do, do, do)
Therapy, therapy (o-oh)

I need therapy
Therapy, therapy
I need therapy (′cause I been run down)
Therapy, therapy

Overall Meaning

Theo Tams's song Therapy is about a person who struggles with committing to their significant other. The person is aware of their partner's worth and feels comfortable and real when they are around, but they are unable to express their love and commitment effectively. The person knows that they need therapy to overcome their personal issues to sustain a healthy relationship with their partner. The song expresses the singer's vulnerability, as they are conflicted about their emotional state and their inability to provide the love and commitment that their partner deserves.

The lyrics showcase the singer's honesty and self-awareness as they confront their own limitations in expressing their emotions adequately. The chorus "I just don't know how to love you, the way you need to be" conveys a sense of remorse and helplessness on the singer's part. The individual's uncertainty about their emotions and their need for therapy to overcome the personal issues that are holding them back emphasizes the importance of seeking professional help to overcome obstacles in life.
