King of Might have Been

Oh now you're upset?/
oh now you're offended?/
cause I pulled out the mirror/
and showed your reflection?/

Said you gave it your all, well where are you now?/
tell me where we went wrong, tell me where is your smile?/
did I snatch it away?/
was I too cold and distant?/
did I disappoint you girl, when I lost the consistence?/

when the foolish pride is the prison I'm in/
cause I hate to feel like I admitted to sin/
No I never did cheat, maybe so with my job/
cause music's my mistress/
but I promise to God/
if I put her over you, it was only FOR you/
so I can share what I had, when I got what was due/

I know I did some wrong, I ain't perfect, I try/
but the worst day of my life/
was to see tears in your eyes/
I'm distraught, girl, in pain/
cause it stings and it stinks, when there's no one to blame/

got caught up between my pride and my promise/
but there's a part in me that still wishes we were honest/
a part of me that still wishes we fought/
and not left this alone like a forgotten thought/

did I mention that you were the reason I did this/
the reason I worked like I needed to end this/
my life that is/
seems like 50/50's what we didn't even try/
more like 20/20 but still we had no eyes/
couldn't see what was hurting us/
or to heal the pain/
but how can we see when we're both caught in blame/

why do people run away from what they really want?/
She, she was the one/
I know it now, just like a blind man feels the setting sun/
I'm all alone/
with 100% of nothing now, just a fool upon his thrown (Throne)/
I guess I'll never win/
just call me the king of might have been.....
