Teacher

I've had enough of danger

from people on the streets.

i'm looking out for angels

just trying to find some peace.

i think it's time

that you let me know.

so if you love me,

say you love me.

well, if you don't just let me go.

'cause, teacher, there are things

that i don't want to learn.

and the last one i had made me cry.

so i don't want to learn to hold you

so you think that you're mine.

because there ain't no joy

for an altar boy

whose teacher has told him goodbye.

goodbye

goodbye

When you were just a stranger

and i was at your feet,

i didn't feel the danger.

now i feel the heat.

that look in your eyes

telling me no.

so you think that you love me,

know that you need me.

i wrote the song.

i konw it's wrong.

just let me go.

Teacher, there are things

that i don't want to learn.

oh, the last one i had

made me cry.

so i don't want to learn to hold you

so you think you're mine.

because there ain't no joy

for an altar boy

whose teacher has told him goodbye.

goodbye.

goodbye.

goodbye.

So when you say that you need me,

that you'll never need me.

i know you're wrong.

you're not that strong.

let me go.

And, teacher, there are things

that i still have to learn.

but the one thing i have

is my pride.

so i don't want to learn to hold you

so that you think that you're mine.

because there ain't no joy

for an altar boy

who's just as unwilling to try.

i'm so cold inside.

maybe just one more try.
