Your Therapist Knows My Name

Verse 1

You said you needed space, so I gave you half the bed,
You said you needed answers, so I gave you everything I had.
Now you're sitting in an office, telling someone I'm insane,
And somehow, after all these years,
Your therapist knows my name.

You tell them I'm controlling,
You tell them I'm cold,
You leave out all the little things
That make the story old.
You say you never saw it coming,
Like you never heard me say
That I couldn't keep on living
In the middle of your game.

Pre-Chorus

I wonder what they think of me,
I wonder what you say,
Do they know you broke my heart
Before you walked away?

Chorus

Your therapist knows my name,
Knows every stupid thing I did,
Knows every time I lost my temper,
Every secret that I hid.
Your therapist knows my name,
But they'll never know the truth...
They only hear the version
That makes a hero out of you.

Verse 2

You said I made you anxious,
You said I made you doubt,
You said you couldn't breathe around me,
So you had to get out.
But I remember every midnight
When you called me in a mess,
And I was always there to catch you
When nobody else said yes.

Now you've got a notebook full of
Reasons I was wrong,
And I'm a character you've rewritten
Since the moment I was gone.
I suppose it's easier that way,
When you're trying to sleep at night...
Turn somebody into a monster
And you never have to fight.

Pre-Chorus

I wonder if they ask you
Why you stayed so long,
Or whether they just nod their head
And tell you I was wrong.

Chorus

Your therapist knows my name,
Knows every stupid thing I did,
Knows every time I lost my temper,
Every secret that I hid.
Your therapist knows my name,
But they'll never know the truth...
They only hear the version
That makes a hero out of you.

Bridge

Maybe I was difficult,
Maybe you were too,
Maybe love's a loaded weapon
When it's pointed at us two.
Maybe we were both disasters
Trying desperately to stay,
And maybe there are no villains...
Just two people getting in the way.

So tell them that I hurt you,
Tell them everything you can,
Tell them I'm the worst mistake
You've ever made with a man.
But when they ask you why you miss me,
Don't you dare look away...
Because somewhere underneath the anger,
You still remember my name.

Final Chorus

Your therapist knows my name,
Knows the worst parts of my heart,
Knows exactly where you say
I tore your world apart.
Your therapist knows my name,
And I hope they help you heal,
Because despite the way you tell it,
What we had was fucking real.

And if I'm the reason you're in therapy,
I guess I'll take the blame,
But I never thought I'd get this famous...
Your therapist knows my name.

Outro

Your therapist knows my name...
Probably knows my side by now.
Your therapist knows my name...
I wonder if you tell them
You still love me somehow.
