You Were My Teacher

V6

[Verse 1] You left before the morning found its way Your coat was gone, your key beside the door I stood there with the words I couldn’t say And felt the whole room asking me for more [Pre-Chorus] I thought the hurt would make me disappear But something in me started standing tall [Chorus] You were my teacher, though you didn’t know You came to wake the part of me I’d let go You were a lesson, brief and hard to take A hand from heaven showing me my way I’m learning how to love myself again To hold my own heart with a steady hand [Verse 2] I used to bend until I lost my shape To keep you close, to keep the peace in place Now every boundary feels like something new A quiet kind of courage growing through [Pre-Chorus] The lesson came so fast, I barely had time But now I see the truth beneath the pain [Chorus] You were my teacher, though you didn’t know You came to wake the part of me I’d let go You were a lesson, brief and hard to take A hand from heaven showing me my way I’m learning how to love myself again To hold my own heart with a steady hand [Bridge] I won’t curse the road that brought me here Or call the leaving something I should fear You opened up a door I couldn’t see And now I’m choosing who I’m meant to be [Final Chorus] You were my teacher, though you didn’t know You came to wake the part of me I’d let go You were a lesson, brief and hard to take A hand from heaven showing me my way I’m learning how to love myself again To hold my own heart with a steady hand I’m learning how to love myself again And I won’t leave that love behind [Outro] I won’t leave that love behind I’m learning how to love myself again
