Lyrics
[Short Instrumental Intro]
[Sad Verse]
Hello, my dear unwelcome guest,
It's been years since you came to nest,
In my life, a storm unbidden,
With a shadow that was hidden.
[Melancholy Pre-Chorus]
I didn't want you, didn't ask you to stay,
But here you are, and here you lay,
In every corner of my waking day,
A reminder of life, in a twisted way.
[Powerpop Chorus]
You're the teacher I never sought,
The battles with you, the lessons taught,
You broke me down, but I got up,
Now I see the worth in my cup.
[Happy Verse]
Remember when we first did meet?
It was all so swift, skipped a heartbeat,
Questions flew, "Why here? Why me?"
But answers weren't the key to be free.
[Whimsical Bridge]
(Spoken Word)
I sent out a call, unknowing, free,
And you RSVP'd, took a piece of me,
I built the stage where you'd shine,
Unaware of the tie, the hidden line.
[Powerpop Chorus]
You're the teacher I never sought,
The battles with you, the lessons taught,
You broke me down, but I got up,
Now I see the worth in my cup.
[Percussion Break]
[Melancholy Verse]
I've learned to wear a brand-new lens,
To find the means through the bitter ends,
You're the book I judged too soon, I confess,
In your pages, I found my progress.
[Emotional Pre-Chorus]
I was the host to your invasive play,
But now I'm the student in a different way,
You're not a foe, but a force to know,
In this dance with you, I find my flow.
[Solo]
You're the teacher I never sought,
The battles with you, the lessons taught,
You broke me down, but I got up,
Now I see the worth in my cup.
[Outro]
So we'll walk this path, you and I,
Underneath the same vast sky,
With kindness, curiosity, heart to heart,
In this journey, you play your part.
[Fade to End]
