Lyrics & Translation

[English]

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 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

Swear you know best

But you expect me to

Jump up on board with you

And ride off into your delusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost

With no direction, oh

But you'll never 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?

Oh, 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?

Lemme hold your crown, babe

...
