[Verse 1]
Daddy's credit card can't fix my head
Another shrink said the same thing I've read
Self-help books collect dust on my shelf
While I'm screaming lyrics to myself
[Pre-Chorus]
Three chords and a microphone
Cheaper than another session alone
My throat is raw, mascara's running down
But this feeling, it's better than drowning
[Chorus]
This is my cheap therapy
Power chords and melodies
Don't need your f*cking sympathy
Just need these strings beneath my fingers
Stage lights burn away the pain
Till I feel alive again
My cheap therapy, my cheap therapy
[Verse 2]
Private school princess with a broken crown
Writing songs till the sun goes down
They say money buys happiness
But my Prozac's gathering dust, I guess
Upper-class anxiety, what a joke
But the panic feels real when I start to choke
[Pre-Chorus]
Guitar strings cut into my hands
Better than the weight of their demands
My bedroom walls know every word
To every song that went unheard
[Chorus]
This is my cheap therapy
Power chords and melodies
Don't need your f*cking sympathy
Just need these strings beneath my fingers
Stage lights burn away the pain
Till I feel alive again
My cheap therapy, my cheap therapy
[Bridge]
Sometimes I run off stage
Sometimes I break down
But these songs save me
When no one else is around
[Chorus]
This is my cheap therapy
Power chords and melodies
Don't need your f*cking sympathy
Just need these strings beneath my fingers
Stage lights burn away the pain
Till I feel alive again
My cheap therapy, my cheap therapy
