Therapy
Tick Tick Boom Lyrics

Are you saying we can't talk?
Are you implying that we cannot have a conversation?

Are you saying we are not talking?
Are you suggesting that we are not communicating?

What are you saying?
Can you please clarify what you mean?

What are you saying?
Can you please explain your point of view?

I'm saying I feel bad, that you feel bad
I am expressing that I am sorry that you are upset.

About me feeling bad, about you feeling bad
I regret that we both have negative emotions.

About what I said, about what you said
I acknowledge that our words may have caused harm.

About me not being able to share a feeling
I understand that I may struggle with expressing my emotions.

If I thought that what you thought
If I believed that you suspected

Was that I hadn't thought about sharing my thoughts
That I had not considered opening up to you

Then my reaction to your reaction
Then my response to how you reacted

To my reaction would have been more revealing
Would have provided a clearer indication of my true feelings.

I was afraid that you'd be afraid
I was worried that you would feel scared.

If I told you that I was afraid of intimacy
If I confided in you about my fear of getting close to others

If you don't have a problem with my problem
If my issue does not concern you

Maybe the problem is simply co-dependency
Perhaps our relationship is too reliant on each other.

Yes, I know that now you know
I am aware that you are now aware

That I didn't know that you didn't know
That I was unaware that you were also unsure.

That when I said, "No", I meant, "Yes, I know"
That when I denied knowledge, I was actually aware.

And that now I know that you knew that you knew you adored me
And I now recognize that you understood that you loved me.

I was wrong to
I made a mistake by

Say you were wrong to
Claim that you were incorrect to

Say I was wrong about
Suggest that I was mistaken regarding

You being wrong
Your error.

When you meant to say that
When you actually intended to express that

The ring was the wrong thing to bring
That bringing the ring was a poor choice.

If I meant what I said
If I was truthful when I said

When I said rings bore me
When I revealed that I found rings uninteresting.

I'm not mad that you got mad that I got mad
I am not angry that you became upset after I became upset.

If I were you when I'd done what I'd done
If I were in your position after taking your actions.

And I'd do what you did when I gave you the ring
And I made the same choices as you did upon receiving the ring.

Having said what I said
After expressing what I did.

But now it's out in the open
Now that everything has been revealed

Now it's off our chest
Now that we have shared our emotions

Now it's four am
It is currently early in the morning

And we have therapy tomorrow
We have a scheduled counseling session soon

It's too late to screw
It is too late to engage in sexual activity

So let's just get some rest
Let us go to sleep instead.
