I didn't save you
I wasn't up to it
I'm not a samurai
Not a samurai
I ask for your forgiveness
I left the battle
Not a samurai (not a samurai-ai-ai)

Badly shaved, plaid shirt
You're drawing on your desk
A portrait of Jim Morrison
I admit it impresses me
We're in second grade, 15 years old, 14
And everyone listens to the Doors

You, my first buddy
You have the talent, you're even handsome
You really have everything for you
But maybe everything is too much
You're annoying but touching
Yeah, I understand you
I'm a guy who gets taken
By feelings
(By feelings)

I didn't save you
I wasn't up to it
I'm not a samurai
Not a samurai
I ask for your forgiveness
I left the battle
Not a samurai (not a samurai-ai-ai)

(Not a samurai-ai-ai)

I'm just starting to sing off-key
We're writing our first lyrics
Some cheesy rhymes about water
And you're struggling with alcohol
(No dad, your mother the widow)
(And your friends are doing all they can)

You break everything, you're too weird
And I'm not a psychologist
Sometimes you're in the psych ward, a bit like Van Gogh
I know it's not your fault
Now you have to fend for yourself
It's stupid, we're having fun but you're too much of a pain
(You're too much of a pain)

I didn't save you
I wasn't up to it
I'm not a samurai
Not a samurai
I ask for your forgiveness
I left the battle
Not a samurai (not a samurai-ai-ai)

(Not a samurai-ai-ai)

(Not a samurai-ai-ai)

I'm still talking to you, surely you don't care
I know you're sleeping, you're nowhere and everywhere
But I'm not sad, you're there in my flaws
I have my scars like a samurai

I'm still talking to you, surely you don't care
I know you're sleeping, you're nowhere and everywhere
But I'm not sad, you're there in my flaws
I have my scars like a samurai
