Therapy Lyrics by Jonathan Larson

tick, tick...BOOM! (Original Cast Recording)

2001

[SUSAN (SPOKEN)]
Are you saying we can't talk?

[JON (SPOKEN)]
Are you saying we're not talking?

[SUSAN (SPOKEN)]
What are you saying?

[JON (SPOKEN)]
What are you saying?
I'm saying:

[JON]
I feel bad, that you feel bad
About me feeling bad, about you feeling bad
About what I said, about what you said
About me not being able to share a feeling

[SUSAN]
If I thought that what you thought
Was that I hadn't thought about sharing my thoughts
Then my reaction to your reaction, to my reaction
Would have been more revealing

[JON]
I was afraid that you'd be afraid
If I told you that I was afraid of intimacy
If you don't have a problem with my problem
Maybe the problem's simply co-dependency

[SUSAN]
Yes I know, that now you know
That I didn't know, that you didn't know
That when I said, "No," I meant, "Yes, I know"
And that now I know that you knew, that I knew you adored me

[JON]
I was wrong to---

[SUSAN]
Say you were wrong to---

[JON]
Say I was wrong about---

[SUSAN]
You being wrong

[JON]
When you rang to say that---

[SUSAN]
The ring was the wrong thing to bring---

[JON]
If I meant what I said
When I said, "Rings bored me"

[JON & SUSAN]
I'm not mad that you got mad that I got mad
When you said I should go drop dead

[JON]
If I were you and I'd done what I'd done
I'd do what you did
When I gave you the ring
Having said what I said

[JON]
[SUSAN]

I feel bad, that you feel bad
I feel badly

About me feeling bad, about you feeling bad
about you

About what I said, about what you said
Feeling badly about me

About me not being able to share a feeling
Feeling badly about you

I thought
If I thought that what you thought

you thought
Was that I hadn't thought about sharing my thoughts

I reacted shallowly
Then my reaction to your reaction, to my reaction

When I reacted to you
Would have been more revealing

I'm not mad
You got mad
I'm not mad that you got mad that I got mad

Go drop dead
When you said I should go drop dead

If I were you and I'd done what I'd done
If I were you

I'd do what you did
When I gave you the ring
But I'm not you

Having said what I said
Said what I said
[JON]
But now it's out in the open

[SUSAN]
Now it's off our chest

[JON & SUSAN]
Now it's 4AM
And we have therapy tomorrow
It's too late to screw
So let's just get some rest
