King of Anything
- Sara Bareilles
Keep drinking 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 not to 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
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 making masks
With my name on it in all caps
You've got the talking down
Just not the listening
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
Waiting 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?
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
While I look outside

Such a precious smile! :] (Although I never met her)...I must say... that's so Ellie!!
Ellie has such a beautiful smile... thinking of you over these days. Love to you from afar xoxo
She's such a little goofball! I don't think anyone could look at her and not fall in love with that face.
the funny little smiles are the very best Ellie photos! :)
Oh what a cutie, with such a great goofy smile! I hope these pictures are a comfort to you - I know sometimes looking through photos of our Elizabeth is my best therapy.
She is so stinkin' cute. Thanks for the shout out to Beckett. Love seeing all your beautiful photos of Ellie and Max.
