Sara Bareilles - King Restless lyrics

He was a good man he had a
Good heart with a good soul
A good thing we had so I
Thought but I was wrong
He let me down by never letting on
He was as good as gone

He had a good game he held
A good hand played the
Cards that he should play so
You understand why I lost
He had that thing I never put my finger on
I put my whole hand and good God, yeah

You talk about being lonely and
Tell me that your sunsets
Weren’t so great when you were waiting on me
Oh but you don’t know me
I realize some other eyes
Were watching your sunrise
You blame it on me and do
It innocently don’t hang your
Hat on my door you don’t live here no more
The gig is up, game is through and you lose
So Relax and settle in
To my story about one foolish
King and his sin
He had a Queen with a castle worth coming in
Everyone said so but he’s
No good at listening

It was one day and queenie’s
In a land far away
And the good ol’ King Restless
Is aching to play
With the next best thing and
The girl after that
But it doesn’t matter now, Cause
I’m not coming back not coming back

You talk about being lonely and
Tell me that your sunsets
Weren’t so great when you were waiting on me
Oh but you don’t know me
I realize some other eyes
Were watching your sunrise
You blame it on me and do
It innocently don’t hang your
Hat on my door you don’t live here no more
The gig is up, game is through… And you lose

You said I could stand next to you if
I wanted to want the best for you
But, I don’t so you make your
Next mistake on your own
You can tell me to forgive you
But don’t ask twice don’t want
To see the part of me that’s
Made of fire and ice
Talk of love talk of pain talk of
Fear all I hear is goodbye

You talk about being lonely and
Tell me that your sunsets
Weren’t so great when you were waiting on me
Oh but you don’t know me
I realize some other eyes
Were watching your sunrise
You blame it on me and do
It innocently don’t hang your
Hat on my door you don’t live here no more
The gig is up, game is through
The gig is up, game is through
The gig is up, game is through and you lose
