My teas gone cold, Im wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at al

I sit in the kitchen, sipping my tea and picking at breakfast, its going to be hard day today.

I wonder if I should just call in sick, just being awake is painful.

It's been stormy all week; days like these always bring me down.

I had that dream again, about my parents.

I don't even have my favorite loud blonde student in class anymore, the kid finally passed.

I never realized how much I depend on other people

And even if I could itd all be gray,

But your picture on my wall

I look up to see your smiling face framed in gold.


It reminds me that it's not so bad
it's not so bad

It had been two months since you started living with me.

I never asked you why, I didn't really want know the real answer.

I was content with hoping it was because you felt the same about me.

I had grown to depend on yet another person.

I needed you, the talks, the laughter, just being near you.

I even made room on one of the book shelves for your collection of Icha Icha Paradise.

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
my head just feels in pain

You haven't been home in a while, something about the kids' training.

I drank myself to sleep; I guess that was a bad choice.

Now everything hurts even more.


I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
and even if I'm there, they'll all imply

That I might not last the day

I'm regretting getting ready for work.

Sure, teaching is great distraction, but lately I can't find comfort in even that.

All the kids seem so happy, so full of energy.

I feel like such an outsider.

I'll make up some sort of excuse, when they ask what's wrong.

What would they think if I told them the truth?


And then you call me and it's not so bad
it's not so bad

The phone rings, just as I reach the door.

I drop my bags and run, I answer after the second ring.

You laugh, and ask me how fast I rushed to answer it.

I lie, and say I walked.

You tell me you're on your way home; I don't think I've ever smiled so wide in my life.


And I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

I wish I could tell you, I wish I could explain how much I need you.

And express how grateful I am that you are part of my life.

Instead I hang up and run all the way to work.


Push the door, Im home at last and I'm soaking through and through

I ran all the way home in the rain, I slipped and fell, my lip is bleeding.

It's so hard to breath.


Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me

"Hey, Iruka." You smile down at me, and everything is perfect again.

I dry myself off, but never take my eyes off you.

I finally feel complete again, I couldn't ask for anything more.


And I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

"I love you, Kakashi."

I've always been so afraid to risk it, to ruin everything and scare you away.

But you need to know this, that you are my reason for getting up every morning, and for breathing.

I've grown to depend on you more than anyone else.

So I brace myself for it, rejection, but instead I get a smile.

You lean down and kiss me, and whisper in my ear

"You know I love you too."

I've never been happier.

So thank you.
