Therapy
Peytan Porter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just think I′ve heard enough
I'm sure you′ve got a lot to say
But I'm all out of rainy days
You only thought about yourself
While you were putting me through hell
You didn't notice and you know it
Therapy
Taking back the time you took away from me
People always told me you were bad for me
Don′t get mad at me
While I take a little time to focus on my
Recovery
Do a little personal discovery
Of who I am now that you got a piece of me
So baby let me be
I gotta get through a little therapy
Drinkin' less and sleeping more
Found who I was lookin′ for
This new me you don't get to see
′Cause baby I'm lovin′ this
Therapy
Taking back the time you took away from me
People always told me you were bad for me
Don't get mad at me
While I take a little time to focus on my
Recovery
Do a little personal discovery
Of who I am now that you got a piece of me
So baby let me be
I gotta get through a little therapy
Better than before
Thanks for nothing boy
Didn't need your help
Did it by myself in
Therapy
Therapy
Therapy
Therapy
Taking back the time you took away from me
People always told me you were bad for me
Don′t get mad at me
While I take a little time to focus on my
Recovery
Do a little personal discovery
Of who I am now that you got a piece of me
So baby let me be
I gotta get through a little therapy
The song "Therapy" by Peytan Porter is about finding oneself after a toxic relationship. The singer is addressing their former partner and letting them know that they have matured enough to handle their own battles with personal growth. The singer has realized that their former partner didn't care about their wellbeing and only thought of themselves. They have decided to take control of their life and seek therapy to heal the damage that has been done.
The lyrics in the chorus reveal the main message of the song, which is that the singer is ready to take back the time that their former partner took away from them by being in a toxic relationship. They are determined to do some self-discovery and grow personally so that they can move on from the relationship. The line, "Thanks for nothing boy, didn't need your help, did it by myself in therapy" suggests that the singer has been able to heal from the experience and rediscover who they are.
The use of the word 'therapy' in the song title and repeated throughout the lyrics has a double meaning wherein it not only highlights the process of healing through therapy but also represents the singer's independence and strength to handle their issues. By doing so, they are also taking ownership of their journey of personal discovery.
