[Verse 1]
My psych says I'm a rescuer
An empathetic victim
For taking on my partner's shit
'Cause I sit there and listen
I tend to ignore warning signs
'Cause I don't want to see them
And she says that's because of
My interior demeanor
[Chorus]
Give it time, give it time, give it time
You'll be fine, you'll be fine, you'll be fine
I can't see any way
Out of this head space
[Verse 2]
I enter my appointments
Greeted by a box of tissues
An hour is too short a time
To get through all my issues
My problems are so minuscule
In terms of the big picture
But I have lost control
Of my emotional convictions
[Chorus]
Give it time, give it time, give it time
You'll be fine, you'll be fine, you'll be fine
I can't see any way
Out of this head space
[Post-Chorus]
I'm here on referral
I just want to work through
Things with someone I don't know
I don't need a prescription
But my disposition
Has never been so low
[Verse 3]
I struggle to assert myself
So I suppress and censor
But gradually it boils up
And starts to drive me mental
I've noticed my relationships
All follow this trajectory
I love you till the day I die
Until it is too much for me
[Chorus]
Give it time, give it time, give it time
You'll be fine, you'll be fine, you'll be fine
I can't see any way
Out of this head space
Give it time, give it time, give it time
You'll be fine, you'll be fine, you'll be fine
I can't see any way
Out of this head space

I was in a relationship that broke down in a really turbulent way, and I found myself feeling really sad about it. It wasn’t the first time I’d experienced a relationship breaking down, so I knew it’d feel shit for a while and would eventually get okay. But I decided to find a psychologist, which I’...
