So I was not the one you wanted
Can’t you see I’m reconciled?
Must you be so disappointed?
Can you not carry on in style?
Is it too much to say we loved hard
‘Til the world fell back in place
And left us where we are?
I feel like the King
When the Queen loses faith
And the crowd rushes in
To tear down the gate
While the whole palace slept
And I never rang the bell
Maybe that’s poetic justice
But it’s pretty hard to tell
And whеn the fortune wheel is spinning
Luck is fortune’s dirty jokе
And the player’s chance of winning
Is diminished by his hope
Could you laugh just to think of the gold
We had running through our hands
When we were on a roll?
I feel like the King
When the Queen loses faith
And the crowd rushes in
To tear down the gate
And declare what was mine
I stole from someone else
Maybe that’s poetic justice
But it’s pretty hard to tell
It’s hard to tell
Why solid ground surprised us
When we fell
It’s hard to say
It’s life or death
Or just so many bitter words
Beneath your breath
Is it too much to say we loved hard
‘Til the world fell back in place
And left us where we are?
I feel like the King
When the Queen loses faith
And the crowd rushes in
To tear down the gate
And declare what was mine
I stole from someone else
Maybe that’s poetic justice
But it’s pretty hard to tell
I feel like the King
When the Queen loses hope
And the crowd rushes in
To raise the gallows pole
And declare what he must do
I’m doing to myself
Well if that’s poetic justice
How can anybody tell?
