[Verse 1]
In this town
I used to be the king here
Now I don't mean a thing here
Where did it all go wrong?

[Verse 2]
I look around
And no one knows my face here
I feel so out of place here
Where did it all go wrong?

[Verse 3]
I say your name
And I wonder where you are now
I hope you're doing fine
Well, I hope that you found love

[Pre-Chorus]
I hope that you found love
Ooh
I hope that you found love
Ooh

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
We said goodbye
You begged me not to leave you
I didn't wanna leave you
But you know I had to go

[Verse 5]
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

[Verse 6]
I turn around
Head on over to your house, yeah
Just in case you might still be there
But now they've pulled it down

[Pre-Chorus]
Now they've pulled it down
Ooh
Hope that you found love
(Wonder what you're doin' now)
I hope that you found love
(Wonder what you're doin' now)
I hope that you found love
Ooh
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Nowhere is home and I feel old
My clothes are torn, my heart is cold
With you, I was the king
With you, my heart would sing
But now my story's done
Now I am no-one
But once I was the king (The king, the king, the king)
