[Verse 1]
In this sterile room of white and grey
Your eyes pierce through the walls I made
Professional distance starts to fade
Like smoke rings from mistakes I've made
Dr. R, you're reading me so well
These thoughts I have but cannot tell
[Chorus]
On the razor's edge of right and wrong
Where healing bleeds into a song
You're sitting there, just out of reach
While I'm drowning in this endless breach
This echo of what cannot be
Is tearing right through you and me
[Verse 2]
Fifty minutes tick on by
Notes on paper, you just write and sigh
I spill my guts out on your floor
While something pulls me towards your door
These feelings ain't supposed to grow
In fluorescent lights down here below
[Bridge]
Every Tuesday at half-past three
Playing roles we're meant to be
Your silver ring, it catches light
As my mind drifts to Friday night
Damn these boundaries we must keep
While my soul begins to weep
[Chorus]
On the razor's edge of right and wrong
Where healing bleeds into a song
You're sitting there, just out of reach
While I'm drowning in this endless breach
This echo of what cannot be
Is tearing right through you and me
[Verse 3]
Your diplomas mock me from the wall
While I'm fighting not to let masks fall
This f*cked-up dance of push and pull
Makes every session beautiful
But we both know this sacred space
Keeps desire locked in its place
[Outro]
The clock strikes time to say goodbye
Another week of wondering why
These echoes of what might have been
Keep cutting underneath my skin
Professional lines drawn in sand
While my heart's still in your hand
