Lyrics
I don't even know your name or even what you look like/
Met you inside of juvi, they took me from that good fight/
Though your role was brief I think it taught me how to do right/
Compared to what it could be ay, I think I lead a good life/
So how do I, go to show appreciation/
when I lack the knowledge of your face and other information/
All I know about you s'that you had this energy/
that always soothed me mentally combined inside your empathy/
The other staff would only come by to talk shit to me/
but you defended me and made sure that it wouldn't get to me/
They broke my glasses when they dropped me down and cuffed me/
Disgusted when I told you, then you said I'm just unlucky/
Made sure that I knew that I'm not a bad kid by any means/
and I could do anything and I deserved everything/
You knew I didn't belong, convinced me that I didn't either/
I still think of you sometime, my missing teacher/
I'm a little cold but I've warmed up with you/
I'm a little cold but I've warmed up with you/
On the note of missing teacher, shout out Mr. Meagher/
I'm hoping life's been good and someday I can go and reach ya/
Show you what I'm up to, tell you bout my goals/
that I prolly wouldn't have if you hadn't played a role/
and taught me how to cope, before you I ain't know/
how to take the steps to keep on nourishing my soul/
Taught me how to manage stress, roll with life and laugh with it/
That it's less about the pain but what you're choosing after it/
I wanna show the weight I lost, from my waist/
and shoulders too, and show that I healed all my open wounds/
I hope you know it's true, my life I owe to you/
I'd met you when I wanted my casket closed too soon/
And here I sit so grateful, to you I wanna wish well/
as I sip my morning tea while I'm reading ishmael/
Once a taker but I work to be a leaver/
I believe I'm where I'm at with some help from mr. meagher/
I'm a little cold but I've warmed up with you/
I'm a little cold but I've warmed up with you/
It's almost like you've opened curtains/
And brought a light inside I always wanna be immersed in/
It helps to see what's in front of me that's truly worth it/
I hope you know you make me wanna be a better person/
I hope you know, that I truly do look up to you/
Me and a couple others who give thanks to what you've come to do/
I look at you and all the acts you do are beautiful/
My heart feels warmer when you make me feel the feelings mutual/
For you to say that you see the good in me/
I feel I've made the best choice in who I choose to be/
I feel like I've been making all the right moves/
'cause if I wasn't I don't think that I'd ever find you/
I'm glad we crossed paths even for a brief time/
Glad you're a part of this Earth and also these rhymes/
When you leave and it's time for you to go/
I'll be happy I shared time with this person that I know/
I'm a little cold but I've warmed up with you/
I'm a little cold but I've warmed up with you/
