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.
