Lyrics

King

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I caught you watching me under the light

Can I realign?

They say it's easy to leave you behind

I don't want to try

Co-cover, take that test

Hold coverage to your chest

Don't want to wait for you

Don't want to have to lose

All that I compromised

To feel another high

I've got to keep it down tonight

And oh, oh, oh

I was a king under your control

And oh, oh, oh

I want to feel like you've let me go

So let me go

Don't you remember how I used to like being on the line?

I dreamed you dreamed of me

Calling out my name

Is it worth the price?

Co-cover, take the test

Hold coverage to your chest

Don't want to wait for you

Don't want to have to lose

All that I compromised

To feel another high

I've got to keep it down tonight

And oh, oh, oh

I was a king under your control

And oh, oh, oh

I want to feel like you've let me go

I had to break myself to carry on

No longer, no admission

Take this from me tonight

Oh, let's fight

Oh, let's fight

Oh, let's fight, ohh

And oh, oh, oh

I was a king under your control

And oh, oh, oh

I want to feel like you've let me go

So let me go

Let go, let go, let go of everything

Let go, let go, let go of everything

Let go, let go, let go of everything

Let go, let go, let go of everything
