Sam Tsui - King of Anything

This song is originally sang by Sara Bareilles but the version I heard first was Sam's version, so that's the one I picked. I came across this song when I was browsing around youtube for songs by Maddi Jane. I've heard her sing Price Tag by Jessie J. and I decide that it's amazing. The chain of event is that while browsing I found a clip of Maddi singing Jar of heart by Christina Perri. Uhm, and there at the side I saw the clip of Sam singing Jar of Heart too. I think his singing is awesome. Then I saw that he made dramas of some sort. So, I looked around and end up viewing "King of Anything" by Sam and Kurt. When I first see the title I was thinking like "King of Anything? Duh~" but when I heard the lyric I was like "Ya, lots of people do that, acting like the king of EVERYTHING" and so, I grew attached to the song.(I can't sing it, so don't ask me to sing). Anyway, enough of history, lyrics after the ... this is boring ain't it? Anyway, I'm a boring person, so whatever~

LYRIC

Keep drinkin' coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside

So many things I'd say if only I were able(same here)
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 time
And try to not waste any more of mine(ya, don't waste my time)
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it you babe
But I'm not drowning(maybe I am but still no thanks for your opinion)
There's no one here to save(you can't save me)

Who cares if you disagree(ya, who cares!)
You are not me(totally)
Who made you king of anything(Yeah!)
So you dare tell me who to be(Don't you dare!)
Who died
And made you king of anything(I'll tell you : NO ONE!)

You sound so innocent(as usual)
All full of good intent(I know you do)
You swear you know best(but sometimes you are wrong)

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(open your eyes please!)

You're so busy makin' maps
With my name on them in all caps(That's my name not yours!)
You've got the talkin' down, just not the listening(open you ears too!)

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(and it's tiring)
while I
Just hurt(and get real irritable)
And hide
Waitin' for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide(but sadly, it never is)

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(that's if you even have a crown, hahahahahaha)
Oh oh
Ah
