In this town, I used to be the king here,
Now I don't mean a thing here, Where did it all go wrong ?

I look around, and no one knows my face here,
I feel so out of place here, Where did all go wrong ?

I say your name, And I wonder where you are now,
I hope you're doing fine, Well, I hope that you found love...
I hope that you found love...

(Oooh) I hope that you found love (Oooh)

I've been thinking of you, every waking hour,
Staring at the wall, trying to find the nerve to call...
Look at your photo and I wonder, Are you still on this number ?
But in my heart I know, You changed that number long ago

Once I was The King

We said goodbye, You begged me not to leave you,
I didn't want to leave you, but you know I had to go...

I said look for me, when the spring sun shines on the street,
Where we'd meet and plan our future, But I never made it home...

I turn around, head on over to your street yeh,
Just in case you might still be there, but now they've pulled it down...
Now they've pulled it down...

(Oooh) I hope that you found love
Wonder what you're doing now...
(Oooh) I hope that you found love
Wonder what you're doing now...
(Oooh) I hope that you found love (Oooh)

I've been thinking of you, every waking hour,
Staring at the wall, trying to find the nerve to call...
Look at your photo and I wonder, Are you still on this number ?
But in my heart I know, You changed that number long ago

Nowhere is home, and I feel old,
My clothes are torn, My heart is cold,
With you I was The King,
But with you my heart would sing,
But now my story's done,
Now I am no one...
But once I was The King
