Why Go To Therapy

Verse 1
I woke up with a feeling I should probably fix my life
Maybe talk about my childhood, maybe sort out all my strife
But the minute that thought landed, I just laughed into my cup
Because caffeine hits my bloodstream and my mood goes shooting up
So why go digging through my trauma like a miner in the dark
When a latte and a daydream light a fire in my heart
Chorus
Why go to therapy
When I can just drink coffee and be weird
Let my thoughts run wild and sideways
Let my quirks stay unapologetically here
I could unpack all my issues
Or just vibe through all my fears
Why go to therapy
When I can drink coffee and be weird
Verse 2
I know I’ve got some habits that a doctor might call “flags”
Like talking to my houseplants and befriending grocery bags
I could sit with some professional and trace the reasons why
But espresso makes me honest and a little extra spry
So instead of deep reflection, I’ll just caffeinate my soul
And embrace my odd existence like it’s always been my goal
Chorus
Why go to therapy
When I can just drink coffee and be weird
Let my thoughts run wild and sideways
Let my quirks stay unapologetically here
I could unpack all my issues
Or just vibe through all my fears
Why go to therapy
When I can drink coffee and be weird
Bridge
Maybe someday I’ll get brave
And face the shadows in my mind
But today I’m choosing chaos
And a peace I only find
In a mug that’s slightly chipped
With a heart that’s slightly odd
I’m a caffeinated mystery
And I’m fine with that, by God
Final Chorus
Why go to therapy
When I can just drink coffee and be weird
Let the world stay slightly sideways
Let my magic stay sincere
I could heal in tidy stages
But that’s not my vibe this year
Why go to therapy
When I can drink coffee and be weird
If you want, I can also make a darker Appalachian‑gothic version, a pop‑anthem version, or a stripped‑down acoustic folk version.
