Romantic Therapist

From It Was Only 4 Years

Released on May 31, 2022

If you could help your love interest through emotional turmoil knowing they would ultimately choose someone else, would you still help? Romantic Therapist examines the ethical collapse that occurs when emotional care is given to someone who will never reciprocate it. Written the night before college graduation in 2022.

Lyrics

You know it's hard
I try to help people through mental health problems
And there's obviously gonna be some issues
But I think at some point
You kinda gotta teach them that time fixes all
And I cannot provide all the solutions to you
'Cause frankly put

I'm not your therapist
I'm not your therapist
I'm not your therapist
I'm not your savior
I'm not your savior
I'm not your savior
I try to be your hero
I try to be you hero
But I've got my problems
I try to be your hero
I try to be you hero
But my heart is a problem

Maybe if I rip it out my chest my dear
Oh, I could think your problems away
I could wish your problems away
Maybe if I could separate myself from here
Oh, I could wash your problems away
I could solve you problems today

Honestly I think my biggest fear is when
I have to deal with women in these particular cases
Because I wanna help
Like I really wanna help
But at some point
It might become romantic
And then I don't know how helpful I'll be

I've got the answers
I've got the answers
But I will just hold them
I know solutions
I know solutions
But you will not know them
Sensing your feelings
Sensing your feelings
You really like him
If you need a hero
If you need a hero
Then you better look past him

Trying to remove romance from my head
But it just will not go away
(It just will not go away)
I can feel this problem with stay
I will regret this when I find you dead
(Find you dead)
Oh, this guilt will not go away
So I must fix your problem today

I don't know
I don't want another Etika situation
Where it feels like I could've done something
And I didn't
You know I didn't know him
I still felt like
"I've been through there"
I should've helped
And I don't want that shit happening again
So I'm gonna help as much as I fuckin can
Even if I'm out of pocket for it
