King Of Anything
By: Sara Bareilles
Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I’d say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by (hiding what you want to say about someone)
You’ve got opinions, man
We’re all entitled to ‘em, but I never asked
So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine
And get out of here fast (telling someone to hurry up)
I hate to break it to you babe, but I’m not drowning
There’s no one here to save (you don’t have yo act anymore)
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be? (can't tell me to be someone else)
Who died and made you king of anything?(your not the highest rank)
You sound so innocent, all full of good intent (you seem like nothing happened)
Swear you know best
But you expect me to jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset (you think I'm always going to be here for you)
I’m not the one who’s lost with no direction (you’re the one that’s lost, not me)
But you’ll never see
You’re so busy making maps with my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down, just not the listening
And who cares if you disagree? (don’t care what you think)
You are not me (I'm me so deal with it)
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?
All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide(not happy)
Waiting for someone to tell me it’s my turn to decide
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?(can't change for you)
Who died and made you king of anything?
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?
Let me hold your crown, babe.(you aren’t in charge anymore)
