Teacher, would you care?

I've been thinking of things I should've said 

Like the reasons why I can't go to bed 

I have been stuck in a box of pure dispare thinking of the sadness I should've shared 

You came to me and I had no answer I pushed you away like an unwanted paper 

So i'm here to ask you a question,

Would you care if I told you the life i've been living?

Would you care if I told you the people i've been kissing? 

Would you care if I told you the people i've been dissing?

I want to trust you but then again I can't 

Why should I trust someone who doesn't give me a helping hand

I want to tell you all my secrets,

Isn't a teacher someone i'm supposed to put my faith in?  

I want to tell you the path i'm taking

I want to tell you if i'm straight or if i'm gay and 

I want to tell you if i'm gonna live another day.

Your contract stops you from listening up,

I just want you to know that my life isn't getting fucked up. 

I dream of the day that I could intrust you with my life, 

I dream of the day that I could introduce you to my husband or wife.

But first I have a question that I must ask twice, 

Would you care if I come to you for major advice?

Would you care if I do what it takes to make my life?

The things I ask make me so afraid so I guess I will keep them to myself and pray 

Pray that you will one day answer, 

Teacher, why would you care?
