The King

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In this town I used to be the king here Now I don't mean a thing here Where did it all go wrong? [Verse 2] I look around And no one knows my face here I feel so out of place here Where did it all go wrong? [Verse 3] I say your name And I wonder where you are now I hope you're doing fine Well, I hope that you found love [Pre-Chorus] I hope that you found love Ooh I hope that you found love Ooh [Chorus] I've been thinking of you Every waking hour Staring at the wall Trying to find the nerve to call Look at your photo and I wonder Are you still on this number? But in my heart I know You changed that number long ago Once I was the king [Verse 4] We said goodbye You begged me not to leave you I didn't wanna leave you But you know I had to go [Verse 5] I said "look for me When the spring sun shines on the street" Where we'd meet and plan our future But I never made it home [Verse 6] I turn around Head on over to your house, yeah Just in case you might still be there But now they've pulled it down [Pre-Chorus] Now they've pulled it down Ooh Hope that you found love (Wonder what you're doin' now) I hope that you found love (Wonder what you're doin' now) I hope that you found love Ooh [Chorus] I've been thinking of you Every waking hour Staring at the wall Trying to find the nerve to call Look at your photo and I wonder Are you still on this number? But in my heart I know You changed that number long ago [Outro] Nowhere is home and I feel old My clothes are torn, my heart is cold With you, I was the king With you, my heart would sing But now my story's done Now I am no-one But once I was the king (The king, the king, the king)
