Let me hold your crown, babe

Keep drinkin' 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 'em. But I never asked. So let me thank you for 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 dellusional 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 talkin' down just not the listening.
And 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?
All my life I've tried to make everybody happy while I just hurt and hide, waitin' for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide.
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? Let me hold your crown, babe.
