The King

In this town I used to be the king here

Now I don't mean a thing here, where did it all go wrong?

I look around and no one knows my face here

Feel so out of place here, where did it all go wrong?

I say your name and I wonder where you are now

I hope you're doin' fine, well, I hope that you found love

I hope that you found love

I hope that you found love

I've been thinkin' of you every wakin' hour

Starin' at the wall, tryin' 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

We said goodbye, you begged me not to leave you

I didn't wanna leave you, but you know I had to go

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

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

Now they've pulled it down

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

I've been thinkin' of you every wakin' hour

Starin' at the wall, tryna 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

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, and now I am no one

But once I was the king
