i'm starting to think the thoughts i shouldn't think   i think i think too much   i think that i forgot how to relax or just have fun   but all of my attempts have met success much more than i would guess   i guess that i might not be dead yet   i am the king, i've got my sons, i've got my swords, i've got my words   i've got the strength that i need to kill all my foes   the years go by, my eyes run dry   it's so hard to smile sometimes   i feel so alone upon this throne   all of this, i did for her   the treasure from the dragon's lair   the gold, the jewels, the castle, and the cat   so many say they're proud of me and i'm a good and honest king   but honestly it doesn't mean shit to me without her   'cause what's a king without his queen?   how much happiness can power bring?   i'd trade it all for a chance to fall in love again   when will i find a heart like mine?   a heart like hers, i want sometime   i try and try, i think i try too hard   can i repair all my despair?   can i hide how i feel inside, enough at least to make myself look half alive?   what a king, what songs i sing, sad melodies and sorry things   i hope to bring a change in this one day   'cause what would people think of me, their melancholy, lonely king   that sings of such sad and sorry things   and all the while i look for smiles   and preach about the way we're gonna make this world into a better place   so maybe everything's alright   we'll stay up late riding our bikes, we'll talk until you have to go to school   maybe i'm not broke so bad, just sing a song that's not so sad   am i the king or am i the fool?
