Sara Bareilles
"King of Anything"
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
You've got opinions man
We're all entitled to them
But I never asked
So let me thank you for your time
And try not to waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast
I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to say
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?
You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
You swear you knew best
But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
Right off into your delusional sunset
I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction
But you'll never see
You're so busy making maps
With the names on them in all caps
You've got the talking down
Just not the listening
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?
All my life I've tried to make everybody happy while I just hurt and hide
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
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?
Lemme hold your crown babe
