Drama King
I'm such a drama king
What kind of happiness can I bring
At the dinner table? Would they place a label on me?
I'm like a dysfunctional cable box...a beat-up TV
Pre-chorus: I promise I'll be okay
I just need time to think things through
I misunderstand what you say
I just want you to know that I love you
Believe me when I tell you
That I've been down in the gutters
But my soul triumphantly flutters
Chorus: I should be happy,
But I'm the opposite sadly
Glancing at the crowd of silly and joyous people,
Dancing around without a care in the world...does it matter just a little?
Silent as the grave
Wearing an upside down frown...
Crowned as drama king, royal rage and shameful sadness is my thing
I should let nothing take me down....
I should be shining like a diamond ring...maybe I should shake the tension away and gloriously sing
Took selfies for my self-esteem to be as high as the emerald mountains...so unsure, lacking bravery
Been through some rough twists and turns and I'd rather be in my shell
Being part of the crowd feels good, but being an outsider is what a prefer...looking for a cure for this jealousy
Been going on my own here and there, but I'm thankful to be alive in this living hell...oh well...
Pre-chorus: I promise I'll be okay
I just need time to think things through
I misunderstand what you say
I just want you to know that I love you
Believe me when I tell you
That I've been down in the gutters
But my soul triumphantly flutters
Chorus: I should be happy,
But I'm the opposite sadly
Glancing at the crowd of silly and joyous people,
Dancing around without a care in the world...does it matter just a little?
Silent as the grave
Wearing an upside down frown...
Crowned as drama king, royal rage and shameful sadness is my thing
I should let nothing take me down....
I should be shining like a diamond ring...maybe I should shake the tension away and gloriously sing
Missing the busy city streets of Los Angeles but at the same time, I can live without it for a few weeks
I need to think before I say; I'm such a drama king, overthinking the worst of situations
You give me hope in mind when I need it, God Most High...deep inside, a sense of belonging speaks
I need to wish you a good luck every night and day; I'm such a drama king, slowly sinking in my Lamentations
Pre-chorus: I promise I'll be okay
I just need time to think things through
I misunderstand what you say
I just want you to know that I love you
Believe me when I tell you
That I've been down in the gutters
But my soul triumphantly flutters
Chorus: I should be happy,
But I'm the opposite sadly
Glancing at the crowd of silly and joyous people,
Dancing around without a care in the world...does it matter just a little?
Silent as the grave
Wearing an upside down frown...
Crowned as drama king, royal rage and shameful sadness is my thing
I should let nothing take me down....
I should be shining like a diamond ring...maybe I should shake the tension away and gloriously sing
I'm like a blood red moon against a velvet black sky
What is it with these touching songs on the radio? Some make me go crazy and some make me get pitiful and lazy
These songs are great these years I won't lie...I'm naturally high
Your sympathy, your hugs, your gaze is what I need, baby
But, I guess I was acting like a drama king
To be honest, I wasn't much of a good blood
I hate the feel of tragedy and it's unbearable sting
I'm having somewhat of a time of my life...
Mirror, mirror on the wall...shatter the strife
We were young and foolish and we didn't know better
I need someone to lean now or never
I need someone to lean on now or never
Now and forever
Now and forever
I'm drifting away
This drama king is heading his way
Out the corridor...out the corridor
I adored you but not anymore...
But I shan't cry yet, for what is there to cry for?
She's gone her own way
And I'm spending my day,
Rich with freedom
But, then again, I feel abandoned and numb
