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

Now I'm left without a hand to hold


But it's all right, I'm okay 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

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


Yeah but it's all right I'm okay and I want to know how you are?

For what it's worth I must say I loved you as you are

In my bed where are you?



Someone is going to take my heart

No one is going to break my heart again


Someone is going to take my heart

No one is going to break my heart again


And I used to be a King

But 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 okay 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

No, no, no, no
