You've got all the answers whenever I'm hurting
But I feel like a project and not like a person
I don't know why you try
To fix me like I can be fixed overnight
Don't try, I'm fine
Don't tell me that you understand
I don't need therapy
I need someone to hurt with me
I need someone to feel my pain
And not just walk away
I don't need someone to preach to me
I just need a little empathy
Send me someone who will shut their mouth
And listen when I say
I don't need therapy
You wanna help but sometimes it's like I'm being lectured
On my problems like I'm not already the expert
I don't know why you try
To fix me like you even know what it's like
I'm fine, don't try
Just sit in my shadows with me
I don't need therapy
I need someone to hurt with me
I need someone to feel my pain
And not just walk away
I don't need someone to preach to me
I just need a little empathy
Send me someone who will shut their mouth
And listen when I say
I don't need
Coping skills or cute cliches
No thoughts and prayers or time and space
I need someone to prove I'm worth the pain
I don't need I've been there comparisons
A safety plan with medicine
I need someone to see my worst and stay
(I don't need) therapy
I need someone to hurt with me
I need someone to see me break
And love me just the same
I don't need someone to preach to me
I just need a little empathy
Send me someone who will shut their mouth
And listen when I say
I don't need therapy
(I don't need therapy)
