Make Up Your Mind / Catch Me I'm Falling (reprise)

Make up your mind, this is clarity
Clarity that you did not have before
The treatment is strong but lasts only so long
And maybe your mind's needing more

Let's say that's not it
The ECT is powerful, it gave you your life back, but the
Effects fade and additional treatments are almost always needed
That wasn't on the form!

Make up your mind that you'll try again
Make up your mind, there are moments of light
The one thing that's sure is that there is no cure
But that doesn't mean we don't fight

My first psychiatrist told me that, according to the manual, grief
That continues past six months is pathological and should be
Medicated. Six months. For the life of
My child. Who makes these decisions?

It's a guideline, nothing more
Yes. Nothing more
Stay with me, try again
Is medicine magic? You know that it's not
We know it's not perfect, but it's what we've got
It's all that we've got
