King Lyrics

Frightened, trying to decide
Which way do I side
Can't make up my mind this timeSearching, curiosity's burning
Just what am I learning
From all this wasted time, waiting in line?Wrapped up in what might have been
I just pretend that luck was seized from me
All alone but on the throne
The king of tragedyCaught up in what could be
If only God had smiled on me
Another dance with circumstance
For his majesty, yeahCrying, my bitter tongue denying
A life wasted in trying
To rise from the bed I've made where I layScreaming, my aching head is reeling
The crown of thorns I'm feeling
Made by my own hands, do you understand?Wrapped up in what might have been
I just pretend that luck was seized from me
All alone but on the throne
The king of tragedyCaught up in what could be

If only God had smiled on me
Another dance with circumstance
For his majesty, yeahNeither here nor there
In between is where I'm found
Holding court with my excuses
Will the king ever denounce his crown?Wrapped up in what might have been
I just pretend that luck was seized from me
All alone but on the throne
The king of tragedyCaught up in what could be
If only God had smiled on me
Another dance with circumstance
For his majesty, yeah
