Used to think you're a king
Someone that built-up kingdoms for me
A one of a kind
Somebody no one else can be
I used to fantasize
But they were lies made up by me (by me)
Now I realized, yeah
Who you turned out to be
I wasted years
Oh, what a shame (yeah)
I was looking forward to you
I guess I'm to blame, yeah
You call me overly emotional and lackin' in my confidence
You made me feel like I'm overall incompetent human
Said you were helping out (helping out)
But all you did was try to hold me down
So now I understand, no doubt, no doubt
You can talk, but I'll just tune you out
You were never a king, so please just shut your mouth
Please, just shut your mouth
As your kingdom falls and your built up walls
Come crashing down on me (on me)
I can see the lies through the bad disguise
Of the king you wanted to be
Want to believe that there's a chance
That you would be the person I wanted you to be
But now I realize who you turned out to be
I wasted years
Oh, what a shame (yeah)
I was looking forward to you
I guess I'm to blame, yeah
You call me overly emotional and lackin' in my confidence
You made me feel like I'm overall incompetent human
Said you were helping out (helping out)
But all you did was try to hold me down
So now I understand, no doubt, no doubt
You can talk, but I'll just tune you out
You were never a king, so please just shut your mouth
Please, just shut your mouth
Please, just shut your mouth
Please, don't pretend that you understand (that you understand, yeah)
Who I want to be and who I truly am (who I truly am)
Please don't pretend that you understand (please don't, please don't pretend)
Who I want to be and who I truly am
