Teddy Swims - I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) Lyrics






Not Your Man


Girl, I guess you're doing me a favor
Melt my armor down to chains and bolts
Love to you's a synonym of danger
Gas can light a flame with no remorse

Don't know why I let this go, go on for so long
Fake tears, they never stain quite like the real ones
Pick a time you wasn't lying, bet you couldn't name me one
Name me one

If you can just leave me in the dead of the night
If you can deceive me, lookin' dead in my eyes
You don't have to say it, baby, I understand
That I'm not your man
No, I'm not your man

This ain't how you treat somebody you say you love
I gave you everything, it still ain't enough
You don't have to say it, baby, I understand
That I'm not your man
No, I'm not your man

Once or twice ain't nothin' but a number
But don't say that you're sorry now
If I knew what it was, I would've been done, gave you up
There ain't no crawling back, I shut that down

Don't know why I let this go, go on for so long
Fake tears, they never stain quite like the real ones
Say a time you wasn't lying, bet you couldn't name me one
Name me one

If you can just leave me in the dead of the night (Dead of the night)
If you can deceive me, lookin' dead in my eyes
You don't have to say it, baby, I understand (Well, I understand)
That I'm not your man
No, I'm not your man

This ain't how you treat somebody you say you love (This ain't how you treat someone)
Oh, I gave you everything, it still ain't enough (It still ain't enough)
You don't have to say it, baby, I understand (I understand)
That I'm not your man
No, I'm not your man

Baby, I'm not your man, ooh
Oh, I'm not your man, yeah
Oh, baby, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not

If you can just leave me in the dead of the night
If you can deceive me, lookin' dead in my eyes (Dead in my eyes)
You don't have to say it, baby, I understand (Oh, I understand)
That I'm not your man (I'm not your man)
No, I'm not your man

This is how you treat somebody you say you love
Oh, I gave you everything, it still ain't enough (No, no)
You don't have to say it, baby, I understand (I understand)
That I'm not your man (I'm not your man)
No, I'm not your man
I'm not your man

Funeral


Turn your bed into my bed
Touch me, say goodbye
'Cause you know I'll never be the same
After tonight

Put that poison on your lips, baby, take it slow
Lyin' in your arms, what a way to go, ooh
Might as well be my last breath
You wore that little black dress to my funeral

Put those masochistic kisses on my neck
Are you a devil or an angel? I forget
'Cause when we're skin to skin, I can't remember how it ended
Amnesia, baby, keep it so, I need it
Got my eyes on you, maybe aimin' too high (funeral)
Trigger-happy, wanna watch it all back (funeral)
When you let me in, I swear I'll only stay a minute
Singin' famous last words, baby, listen

Turn your bed into my bed
Touch me, say goodbye
'Cause you know I'll never be the same
After tonight

Put that poison on your lips, baby, take it slow
Lyin' in your arms, what a way to go, ooh
Might as well be my last breath
You wore that little black dress to my funeral

Oh, give me love, lay with me until the morning (ooh)
I wanna feel the warmth of your light
Here as a man (ooh), a fool for you (ooh)
Don't make me wait at Heaven's gate, just let me through

Turn your bed into my bed
Touch me, say goodbye
'Cause you know I'll never be the same
After tonight

Put that poison on your lips, baby, take it slow
Lyin' in your arms, what a way to go, oh
Might as well be my last breath
You wore that little black dress to my funeral

To my funeral (funeral)

Put that poison on your lips, baby, take it slow
Lyin' in your arms, what a way to go, oh
Might as well be my last breath
You wore that little black dress to my funeral

Woah (funeral)
To my funeral (funeral)

To my funeral

Ooh

Your Kind of Crazy


My history would suggest you'd be
Just like the rest of my exes, but somehow, you're not
Something in the wind from the way we fight to the way we kiss
Tell me, what did you put in my cup?

Funny feelings
Funny feelings have a funny way of getting underneath your skin and swimmin'
When you're in 'em

Your kind of crazy
Best kind that I've ever had
Your kind of crazy
Smells like roses, your "red flags"
The mess you make me
Girl, it don't faze me
Girl, don't change a thing, leave it like that
Your kind of crazy
Best kind that I ever had

The way your body talkin' to me, girl, I speak it fluent
Know what you gon' put me through but still I got to do it
Oh, I
There ain't no changin' my mind
I think I like

Your kind of crazy
Best kind that I've ever had (Best kind that I've ever had)
Your kind of crazy
Smells like roses, your "red flags"
The mess you make me
Girl, it don't faze me
Girl, don't change a thing, leave it like that
Your kind of crazy
Best kind that I've ever had

That look you give
That smile you twist
You lunatic
But I love it
That look you give
That smile you twist
You lunatic
But I love it (Every, every, everything you do)

That look you give
That smile you twist
You lunatic
But I love it (Every, every, everything you do)
That look you give
That smile you twist
You lunatic

Bad Dreams


Sun is going down, time is running out
No one else around but me
Steady losing light, steady losing my mind
Over shadows and grinding teeth (ooh)

Without you, there ain't no place for me to hide
Without you, there's no way I can sleep tonight
What I'd do for a little bit of peace and quiet
Without you, I keep

Slipping into bad dreams (bad dreams)
Where there's no you and I
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free
From all of these
Bad dreams (bad dreams)
Waitin' on the other side
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free
From all of these, all of these

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Bad dreams
Ooh, ooh, ooh
All of these

Baby, please come around, help me settle down
Yeah, these habits keep clouding my head
What you waiting for? Something physical?
I can do this by myself

Without you, there ain't no place for me to hide
Without you, there's no way I can sleep tonight
What I'd do for a little bit of peace and quiet
Without you, I keep

Slipping into bad dreams
Where there's no you and I (and I)
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free (set me free)
From all of these (all of these)
Bad dreams
Waitin' on the other side
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free (set me free)
From all of these, all of these

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Bad dreams (bad dreams)
Baby, please
Ooh, ooh, ooh
All of these (baby, please)
All of these

Are You Even Real


[ Featuring GIVEON ]

[Teddy Swims]
Are you even real
Or did I make you up?
How could someone like you
Wanna give me love?
Don't think I deserve you
But I can't get enough

You're so beautiful, spiritual
More like a miracle
Part of me's scared that you
Might be invisible (Oh)
Too good to be true

Tell me
Are you, are you
Are you, are you
Made up in my head, or are you in my bedroom?
Questions that I ask ever since I met you (Hm-hm-hm)
Tеll me
Are you (Are you), arе you (Are you)
Are you, are you
Somethin' from a dream or somethin' that I made up?
Questions that I ask every time that I wake up (Oh)

[GIVĒON]
You never do too much (Oh)
Somehow, you're still enough for me
I can feel the rush
Even when you slow-dance for me
Lookin' at you layin' right there
Are you from this world? I swear

[GIVĒON & Teddy Swims]
You're beautiful, spiritual (Oh)
I just want you to know
Is it all pretend, or somethin' I made real?
I don't know what to think (Don't know, don't know, don't know)
And if it's all a dream, I don't wanna wake up

[Teddy Swims & GIVĒON]
Are you (Are you), are you
Are you, are you
Made up in my head, or are you in my bedroom? (In my bedroom)
Questions that I ask ever since I met you, ah
Tell me
Are you (Are you), are you (Are you)
Are you (Are you), are you
Somethin' from a dream or somethin' that I made up?
Questions that I ask every time that I wake up

[GIVĒON & Teddy Swims]
Are you?

Black & White


Problem is I don't do anything different than I used to
You're the first one I told the truth to
Something's changing inside of me when I look at you
When I look at you

'Cause, oh, don't say you feel the same way
Oh, clear as day and night

Baby, baby, it's black and white, we know when it feels right
And it feels like the right time to love you
Baby, baby, we barely touched, I'm ready to open up
And we both know that when it feels right
It's black and white

Differences between us, I know that some people see 'em
Yeah, your tattoos look like bad news, kinda taboo
If I had to, how can I explain it?
You're the sunshine when it's raining
I wanna wake up with you by my side
Let you get me high, keep my body levitating

'Cause, oh, don't say you feel the same way too
Oh, clear as day and night

Baby, baby, it's black and white, we know when it feels right
And it feels like the right time to love you
Baby, baby, we barely touched, I'm ready to open up
And we both know that when it feels right
It's black and white

Black and white (Black and white, day and night, we're alright)
It's black and white (Black and white)
It's black and white
Can't nobody tell me nothin' 'bout my baby (Black and white)
It's black and white
Meant to be you and me, babe (Black and white)
It's black and white

All lovin', my lovin', my lovin', my lovin'
I'm ready, baby
Yeah, mm-mm
Black and white
You and I
You and I
Oh

Northern Lights


You lay your head gently on my shoulder
We made big plans, they changed as we got older

Oh, I know now what I didn't before
Sometimes it's good to let a good thing go

But in my head, you're still mine
And I go back every night
I see your face in summer skies
I count the stars inside your eyes
Oh, what went wrong, what went right
It fades away as years go by
We may not have a whole lifetime
But at least we had the northern lights

It hurts like hell admitting I still miss you
Your heart, my hand, somehow I let it slip through, oh

But I know now what I didn't before
Sometimes it's good to let a good thing go

But in my head, you're still mine
And I go back every night
I see your face in summer skies
I count the stars inside your eyes
Oh, what went wrong, what went right
Fades away as years go by
We may not have a whole lifetime
But at least we had the northern lights
The northern lights

We lit a fire as the night got colder
What a view, with your head on my shoulder
Still the one that I can't get over

In my head, you're still mine
I go back every night
See your face in summer skies
I count the stars inside your eyes
Baby, what went wrong, what went right
Fades away as years go by
We may not have a whole lifetime
But at least we had the northern lights
The northern lights

Guilty


Of having only eyes for you
Of letting you turn my crimson skies blue
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Of hating your somebody new
Of getting hella jealous of the ground that's under you
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Of going way too hard
Of tryna call you while I'm storming out the bar
Of going way across the line
Of needing you at the end of every night

I'm guilty, baby
I'm guilty, baby
If having a bleeding heart is a crime
If loving you means I'm serving life
I'm guilty, baby

Of using medicine as a crutch
On the nights when the voices in my head won't shut up
Oh-oh

Of going way too far (Going way too far)
Of driving by your place and counting up the cars (Up the cars)
Of going way across the line (Going way across the line)
Of needing you at the end of every night

I'm guilty, baby
I'm guilty, baby
If having a bleeding heart is a crime
If loving you means I'm serving life
I'm guilty, baby

How bad I need you, ain't enough words to say
Are we really over or just on a different page?
Hey

I'm guilty, baby
I'm guilty, baby
If having a bleeding heart is a crime
If loving you means I'm serving life
I'm guilty, baby

It Ain’t Easy


It ain't easy, baby
Since the day came around (Since the day came around)
Ooh, I'm scared I'll find a way
Find a way to let you down

Mm, what do I do with all these real hard feelings?
Ruining my mind when I'm awake and I'm sleeping
Not like me to let somebody be my high and my weakness

It ain't easy to love you
Feels so good, I think my heart could break
I know I'm up against it
Oh, but I can't help it just how much I need you, babe
It ain't easy to love you
Feels so good, it's more than I can take
I swear it does my head in
Knowing any second you could turn and walk away
It ain't easy, baby
It ain't easy, babe
It ain't easy babe

Oh, I miss your face
Every time that I blink
Love you more than yesterday
Tomorrow, I'll be saying the same damn thing

So what do I do with all these real hard feelings?
Thinking all night, and you know you're the reason
Ain't like me to let somebody be my high and my weakness

It ain't easy to love you
Feels so good, I think my heart could break
I know I'm up against it
Oh, but I can't help it just how much I need you, babe (Just how much I need you, babe)
It ain't easy to love you
Feels so good, it's more than I can take
I swear it does my head in
Knowing any second you could turn and walk away
It ain't easy, babe
It ain't easy, babe
It ain't easy, babe

It ain't easy, babe
It ain't easy, babe
It ain't easy, babe

It ain't easy, babe
It ain't easy, babe, it ain't easy, babe

It ain't easy to love you
Feels so good, I think my heart could break
I know I'm up against it
Oh, but I can't help it just how much I need you, babe
It ain't easy to love you
Feels so good, it's more than I can take (Mm, it feels so good)

If You Ever Change Your Mind


Look into my eyes, you don't have to say a word
Don't have to say a word
I'm still coming to terms with finding a love that shatters my world
More than I deserve

If you ever change your mind
Don't let me know, don't say goodbye
Just walk out the door, don't say it's over
Don't tell me lies
'Cause it's the only way I'll survive
If you ever change your mind

Oh, the stars, they all align
When your hand is holding mine
I love you
I love you

So if you ever change your mind
Don't let me know, don't say goodbye
Just walk out the door, don't say it's over
Don't tell me lies
'Cause it's the only way I'll survive
If you ever change your mind

Hammer to the Heart


(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh)

Got you cryin' on my shoulder, and I know better than to listen (oh-oh-oh)
Just because you're staying over, doesn't mean that you're forgiven (oh-oh-oh)
We both know what you done, what you done
Don't love anyone, anyone
Anyone but yourself, oh

Just when I think I've found the strength to go and push you away, away
Oh, I pull you in again, oh, I'm such a sucker for the pain, pain, pain

Baby
I'm helpless, baby
Porcelain in your hands
Bound to fall apart
You know how to break me
Hammer to the heart

Caption it passion, and then
Capture me, trap me instead
Happy to die in that web, wrapped in the sheets of your bed
Ooh, know the only way I'm leaving
Ooh, is in pieces

Just when I think I've found the strength to go and push you away, away
Oh, I pull you in again, oh, I'm such a sucker for the pain, pain, pain

Baby
I'm helpless, baby
Porcelain in your hands
Bound to fall apart
You know how to break me
Hammer to the heart

Why do you do this to me?
Leave and come back and repeat
Sound of the crash when you swing (oh-oh-oh)
Why do you do this to me?
Leave and come back and repeat
Sounds like it's just what I need (oh-oh-oh)

Baby
I'm helpless, baby
Porcelain in your hands
Bound to fall apart
You know how to break me
Hammer to the heart
Baby
I'm helpless, baby
Porcelain in your hands
Bound to fall apart
You know how to break me
Hammer to the heart

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Porcelain in your hands
Bound to fall apart
You know how to break me

She Loves the Rain


I got eyes for the pain and darkness
She got smiles in a jar by the door
Senses when my sky is falling
My roof, my shelter from the storm

No
She don't mind all the times that my heart's been black and blue
Mm
Sees the tears in my eyes from a different point of view

Well, she likes her days
Better when the sun go down
Yeah, she loves the rain
Well, maybe that means she can love me somehow
When the sky turns grey, you should see her face
She ain't even fazed by the clouds
She loves the rain
Well, maybe that means she can love me somehow

Keeps half a shell she found in Destin
Mm
Right on top her bedroom drawer
Mm
Next to a dozen dying flowers
She waits until the petals fall onto the floor

Yeah
Finds the beauty in broken when nobody else can see
Mm
Well, maybe I got a shot of her seeing some good in me

'Cause she likes her days
Better when the sun go down
Yeah, she loves the rain
Well, maybe that means she can love me somehow
When the sky turns grey, you should see her face
She ain't even fazed by the clouds
She loves the rain
Maybe that means she can love me somehow

Oh, she loves the rain
Yeah
She likes her days
Better when the sun go down
Yeah, she loves the rain
Maybe that means she can love me somehow

I've Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 2) is the second studio album by American singer and songwriter Teddy Swims. A follow up to I've Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 1), the album was released on January 24, 2025, and features the singles "Bad Dreams" and "Are You Even Real".

In a recent interview with People magazine, Swims revealed how his personal life has influenced the creation of I've Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 2), specifically his single "Bad Dreams".

He also described the album as a more upbeat record in comparison to his debut album, reflecting the current state of his personal life. He added, "I feel like we're closing a chapter on a moment in my life that deserves to be closed."
