Teacher (I Forgive You) Lyrics

teacher i forgive you for the things that you do because its true I do that same shit too.
going around and showing off my heart in the play i never can play the part
cousin i looked up to you despite my older age its another passage in a chapter on a page
write it all down memories will start to burn
spoon up the ash and take a knife to our concern
lover i still love you even though you do me wrong
its the same old story you heard from your grandpa
upside down with my imaginary friend pick a name until we're coming at the end
i see you on a bus down mcadam avenue
stopped me in my tracks thats how i sort of knew it was you
it was you
it was you
teacher i forgive you for the things that you do because its true I do that same shit too.
fuckin around and blown off my heart
in the play i never can play the part
in the play i never can play the part
in the play i never can
i see you on a bus down mcadam avenue
stopped me in my tracks thats how i sort of knew
i see you on a bus down madam avenue
stop me in my tracks that how i sort of knew
it was you
it was you

teacher i forgive you for the things that you do because its true I do that same shit too.
going around and showing off my heart in the play i never can play the part
cousin i looked up to you despite my older age its another passage in a chapter on a page
write it all down memories will start to burn
spoon up the ash and take a knife to our concern
lover i still love you even though you do me wrong
its the same old story you heard from your grandpa
upside down with my imaginary friend pick a name until we're coming at the end
i see you on a bus down mcadam avenue
stopped me in my tracks thats how i sort of knew it was you
it was you
it was you
teacher i forgive you for the things that you do because its true I do that same shit too.
fuckin around and blown off my heart
in the play i never can play the part
in the play i never can play the part
in the play i never can
i see you on a bus down mcadam avenue
stopped me in my tracks thats how i sort of knew 
i see you on a bus down madam avenue
stop me in my tracks that how i sort of knew

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
