King of Nothing

Everything I always knew I could hold it in my hands Now it falls right through And you can't come back when you just up and leave When I'm here it feels like someone else's dream When you're the king of nothing Waking up twenty-something Because you're the king of nothing But you want it to all mean something My head spins nothing rings true Like I'm walking in somebody else's shoes Every step makes me feel used And suddenly I'm borrowed, suddenly black and blue And you can't come back when you just up and leave When I'm here it feels like someone else's dream When you're the king of nothing Waking up twenty-something Because you're the king of nothing But you want it to all mean something I've been here before but not like this The night seems small my memory shifts I told myself that I'd be fine Maybe some things don't get better with time And I open up my tired eyes And I wanna feel but it don't feel right Some things just aren't as they seem I wanna understand but it's lost on me When you're the king of nothing Waking up twenty-something Because you're the king of nothing And all you have is all you left behind It still keeps you up at night 'Cause you're the king of nothing But you want it to all mean something --- King of Nothing - Hardcastle
