King of Anything

Keep drinking coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside

So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet
And count the cars that pass by

You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to them
But I never asked

So let me thank you for your time
And try to not waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
You swear you know best

But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
Ride off into your delusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction
But you won't ever see

You're so busy makin' maps
With my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down just not the listening

All my life I've tried
To make everybody happy while I
Just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide

Let me hold your crown, babe

(Sara Bareilles)

The lyrics of this song reminded me of a few people I have known in the past .... those of you that know me will know what I mean ;)
