KING OF ANYTHING


King Of Anything by: Sara Bareilles

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
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked
And try not to waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save
Who made you king of anything?
So, you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
All full of good intent
Swear you know best
Jump up onboard with you
Ride off into your delusional sunset
With no direction, oh
But you'll never see
With my name on it in all caps
You've got the talking down
Just not the listening
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
To make everybody happy while I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
You've got opinions, man
So let me thank you for your time
I hate to break it to you babe
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
You sound so innocent
But you expect me to
I'm not the one who's lost
You're so busy making maps
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
All my life I've tried
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Let me hold your crown, babe
