i used to feel life was tragedy after tragedy
such a teacher you taught me i was wrong
i would drink too much but you'd still take me home
and lay with me and make sure i fell asleep
so i'm writing this song and it's just for you
out of thanks and all my good intent

this is unexpected though i should have it seen from miles away
i can't think any more about you, there's nothing left to cut
i keep asking myself is this real or just a nightmare
i keep looking for you, but you're not around

i craved for something save me from myself
such a teacher you taught me how to feel
realization can be such a ton of bricks
causing abrupt endings bent from my mistakes
we lay together, your body molds to mine
and now i feel you're the reason i exist

and i'm missing you
and all that you do
in a perfect world
dreams can come true

this is unexpected though i should've seen it from miles away
i can't think any more about you, there's nothing left to cut
i keep asking myself is this real or just a nightmare
i keep looking for you, but you're not around
