The King I Wish I Was
For You
Shawn Peters
2008
I walk alone
On foggy nights
In forgotten towns
Living without lights

I see the dawn
And as it breaks
I go back home
Where I’ll sit and wait

Apart from this
A kind of bliss
I never had
Makes me so sad

The king I wish
I always was
I can’t be now
Can’t be because

You’re on my mind
Almost all the time
It’s not out of love
And it won’t be fine

You drove me to this
To this half-life state
You’re living a lie
While I masturbate

You’ll probably wonder why
I didn’t just lay down and die
I’ll never die for you

And when you said goodbye
I just smiled and closed my eyes
I’ll never say goodbye to you
