Therapist Said Lyrics

Our therapist said maybe we should take a break

But we were right to be afraid

Of what could happen in that space

I wrecked my car just an hour into the drive

Out to Austin on the edge of a knife

Praying to God that I would see the light

Well, I cried every tear I had across the bridge into Memphis

We were between jobs

I couldn't pay for my prescription

Oh, you never let me come back home

Oh, you never let me come back home again

Nina's mom took me out to pierce my ears

Rail thin shaking with fear

Afraid of looking in the mirror

Maybe if I tried her on then I could take her off

But the real me made your stomach turn

It's a lesson that I can't unlearn

Well, I cried every tear I had across the bridge into Memphis

We were between jobs

I couldn't pay for my prescription

Oh, you never let me come back home

Oh, you never let me come back home again

No matter how hard I tried to make amends

Oh, you never let me come back home again

My therapist called the Little Rock police

She knew I was danger driving

Looking for some relief

You said I could stay on your sister's couch

Work was so busy and you didn't

Have the time to talk it out

Well, I cried every tear I had across the bridge into Memphis

We were between jobs

I couldn't pay for my prescription

Oh, you never let me come back home

Oh, you never let me come back home again

No matter how hard I tried to make amends

Oh, you never let me come back home again
