The music therapist therapizes herself.

Lyrics:

I’d say I’ve never been so sad, but
You know that would be a lie, so
I’d say nothing’s ever been so hard
But you’d catch that one too

And so I’ll leave it at “I’m sorry”
For always being like I am 
And you can breathe one of your heavy sighs 
Those words will come with time 

But I just need to stay alive
And not have to pretend 
And maybe I could learn to be a light 
Or something close to whole 
Within 

So finally these two legs of mine are
The only two I know I have 
I’ve got to stand up by myself this time
I’ve ... never done that without you 

But I just need to stay alive 
And not have to pretend 
And maybe I could learn to be a light 
Or something close to whole 
Within 

I can’t wait around for some dream I found
I have to do this now 

So I’m just gonna stay alive 
I’m not gonna pretend 
And maybe I will learn to be a light
Or something close to whole 
Within
