I used to be a King (Nash) lyrics

I used to be a King (Nash)

I used to be a King
and everything around me turned to gold
I thought I had everything
Now I'm left without a hand to hold

But it's all right I'm ok
How are you?
For what it's worth I must say
I love you
and in my bed late at night
I miss you
Someone is gonna take my heart
No one is gonna break my heart again

I used to be a King
and everything around me turned to rust
It's because I built my life on sand
and I watched it turn in the dust

But it's all right I'm ok
I want to know how you are
For what it's worth I must say
I loved you as you are
and in my bed
where are you?
Someone is gonna take my heart
No one is gonna break my heart again

Someone is gonna take my heart
No one is gonna break my heart again!

I used to be a King
but everything around me turned around
but I know all I have to do is sing
and I lift myself way off the ground Yeah!

But it's all right I'm ok
How are you?
For what it's worth I must say
I love you
and in my bed late at night
God, how I miss you
Someone is gonna take my heart
but, No one is gonna break my heart again
