Unwelcome Guest

[Short Instrumental Intro] [Sad Verse] Hello, my dear unwelcome guest, It's been years since you came to nest, In my life, a storm unbidden, With a shadow that was hidden. [Melancholy Pre-Chorus] I didn't want you, didn't ask you to stay, But here you are, and here you lay, In every corner of my waking day, A reminder of life, in a twisted way. [Powerpop Chorus] You're the teacher I never sought, The battles with you, the lessons taught, You broke me down, but I got up, Now I see the worth in my cup. [Happy Verse] Remember when we first did meet? It was all so swift, skipped a heartbeat, Questions flew, "Why here? Why me?" But answers weren't the key to be free. [Whimsical Bridge] (Spoken Word) I sent out a call, unknowing, free, And you RSVP'd, took a piece of me, I built the stage where you'd shine, Unaware of the tie, the hidden line. [Powerpop Chorus] You're the teacher I never sought, The battles with you, the lessons taught, You broke me down, but I got up, Now I see the worth in my cup. [Percussion Break] [Melancholy Verse] I've learned to wear a brand-new lens, To find the means through the bitter ends, You're the book I judged too soon, I confess, In your pages, I found my progress. [Emotional Pre-Chorus] I was the host to your invasive play, But now I'm the student in a different way, You're not a foe, but a force to know, In this dance with you, I find my flow. [Solo] You're the teacher I never sought, The battles with you, the lessons taught, You broke me down, but I got up, Now I see the worth in my cup. [Outro] So we'll walk this path, you and I, Underneath the same vast sky, With kindness, curiosity, heart to heart, In this journey, you play your part. [Fade to End]
