Proofs and Goodbyes

[Verse 1]
You walked in scared of fractions
Left here laughing at the test
All those scribbles on the whiteboard
Turned to answers you impressed
Little “I don’t get it” moments
Into “hey
This feels alright”
Step by step
We climbed the pages
Till the numbers looked like light

[Chorus]
Thank you for the questions
Thank you for the tries
Thank you for the work you did
On late and sleepy nights
Thank you for the giggles
When a problem went all wrong
This is just a math class goodbye
But I’ll miss you when you’re gone (oh yeah)
I’ll miss you when you’re gone

[Verse 2]
We found patterns in the chaos
Turned confusion into cheer
Every tiny “almost got it”
Helped the answers reappear
You were braver than the quizzes
Kinder than the grades you see
You’re much more than any mark sheet
That’s the part you proved to me

[Chorus]
Thank you for the questions
Thank you for the tries
Thank you for the work you did
On late and sleepy nights
Thank you for the giggles
When a problem went all wrong
This is just a math class goodbye
But I’ll miss you when you’re gone
Yeah
I’ll miss you when you’re gone

[Bridge]
So take your graphs and dreams
Go draw your biggest line
If life feels like a puzzle
You will solve it over time (hey!)
My door stays in your corner
My heart is on your side
You were never just my students
You’re the reason for my pride

[Chorus]
Thank you for the questions
Thank you for the tries
Thank you for the stories shared
Between the whys and whens and whys
Thank you for the giggles
For the courage to stay strong
This is just a math class goodbye
But I’ll cheer you as you’re gone
Yeah
I’ll cheer you as you’re gone (oh yeah)
