The King

In this town, I used to be the king here

Now I don't mean a thing here, where did it all go wrong?

I look around and no one knows my face here

I feel so out of place here, where did all go wrong?

I say your name, and I wonder where you are now

I hope you're doing fine now, well I hope that you found love

I hope that you found love

I hope that you found love

I've been thinking of you, every waking hour

Staring at the wall, trying to find the nerve to call

Look at your photo and I wonder, are you still on this number?

But in my heart I know, you changed that number long ago

Once I was the king

We said goodbye, you begged me not to leave you

I didn't want to leave you, but you know I had to go

I said look for me, when the spring sun shines on the street

Where we'd meet and plan our future, but I never made it home

I turn around, head on over to your hands, yeah

Just in case you might still be there

But now they've pulled it down

Now they've pulled it down

I hope that you found love

(Wonder what you doing next)

I hope that you found love

(Wonder what you doing next)

I hope that you found love

I've been thinking of you, every waking hour

Staring at the wall, trying to find the nerve to call

Look at your photo and I wonder, are you still on this number?

But in my heart I know, you changed that number long ago

Nowhere is home and I feel old

My clothes are torn, my heart is cold

With you I was the king

With you my heart would sing

But now my story's done, now I'm no one

But once I was the king
