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
