I Used To Be A King - Shawn Colvin

I used to be a king and everything around me

Turned to gold

I thought i had everything and now i’m left without a hand to

Hold

But it’s all right i’m o.k.

how are you?

For what it’s worth i must say i loved you

And in my bed late at night, i miss you

Someone is going to take my heart

But no one is going to break my heart again

I used to be a king and everything around me

Turned to rust

It’s `cause i built my life on sand

And i watched it crumble in the dust

But it’s all right i’m o.k.

and i want to know

How you are

For what it’s worth i must say i loved you as you are

And in my bed where are you?

Someone is going to take my heart

But no one is going to break my heart again

I used to be a king and everything around

Me turned around

But i know all i have to do is sing

And i’ll lift myself way off the ground

Yeah, but it’s all right i’m o.k.

how are you?

For what it’s worth i must say i loved you

And in my bed late at night where are you?

Someone is going to take my heart

But no one is going to break my heart again
