Sara Bareilles - King Of Anything


"King Of Anything"


Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)


Keep drinkin' coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside


So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet
And count the cars that pass by


You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked


So let me thank you for time
And try to not waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast


I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save


Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything


Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)


You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
You swear you know best


But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
Ride off into your dellusional sunset


I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction oh
But you won't ever see


You're so busy makin' maps
With my name on them in all caps
You got the talkin' down just not the listening


And who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything


All my life
I've tried
To make everybody happy while I
Just hurt
And hide
Waitin' for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide


Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)


Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything


Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything


Let me hold your crown, babe
Oh oh
Ah
