Lyrics to 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
You've got opinions man
We're all entitled to
But I never asked
So let me thank you for your time
And try not to waste any more of mine
And get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe, but I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save

And 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
Swear you know best
But you expect me to jump up on board with you
Ride off into your delusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction, oh
But you'll never see
You're so busy making maps
And putting your name on them in all caps
You've got the talking down, just not the listening

Chorus

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

Chorus

Let me hold your crown, babe
