Lyrics Shawn Colvin

Shawn Colvin

I Used to Be a King

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
