Lyrics

[00:00.00] Hard-Fi - The king
[00:04.00]
[00:08.00]
[00:10.71] In this town
[00:12.83] I used to be the King here
[00:15.70] Now I don't mean a thing here
[00:18.31] Where did it all go wrong?
[00:20.53]
[00:20.78] Look around
[00:23.63] No one knows my face here
[00:26.44] Feel so out of place here
[00:29.27] Where did it all go wrong?
[00:31.81]
[00:32.11] I see your name
[00:34.79] And I wonder where you are now
[00:37.59] I hope you're doing fine now
[00:40.50] I hope that you found love
[00:42.05]
[00:43.53] I hope you found love
[00:46.70] Oooh oooh
[00:49.76] I hope that you found love
[00:51.80] Oooh oooh
[00:54.33]
[00:54.79] I've been thinking longer
[00:57.25] Every waking hour
[00:59.89] Staring at the wall
[01:02.65] Trying to find the nerve to call
[01:05.03] Catch your photo and I wonder
[01:08.26] Are you still on this number
[01:10.94] But in my heart I know
[01:13.51] You changed that number long ago
[01:16.84] Once I was the King
[01:19.68]
[01:27.92] Said goodbye
[01:30.79] You begged me not to leave you
[01:33.40] I didn't want to leave you
[01:36.01] But you know I had to go
[01:37.69]
[01:39.70] I said look for me
[01:42.15] When the spring sun shines on the street,
[01:45.03] Where we'd meet and plan our future
[01:48.09] But I never made it home
[01:48.85]
[01:50.23] I turn around
[01:52.69] Head on over to your house yeah
[01:55.76] Just in case you might still be there
[01:58.63] But now they've pulled it down
[02:00.71]
[02:01.67] Now they've pulled it down
[02:04.28] Oooh oooh
[02:07.83] I hope that you found love
[02:11.04] Wonder what you're doing now
[02:13.35] I hope that you found love
[02:16.22] Wonder what you're doing now
[02:18.75] I hope that you found love
[02:21.74] Oooh oooh
[02:23.25]
[02:24.09] I've been thinking longer
[02:26.50] Every waking hour
[02:29.22] Staring at the wall
[02:31.79] Trying to find the nerve to call
[02:34.32] Catch your photo and I wonder
[02:37.50] Are you still on this number
[02:40.34] But in my heart I know
[02:42.72] You changed that number long ago
[02:46.10] Nowhere is home, and I feel old
[02:48.83] My clothes are torn, my heart is cold
[02:51.74] With you I was the king
[02:55.03] With you my heart would sing
[02:57.78] But now my stories done
[03:00.54] Now I am no one
[03:03.34] But once I was the king
