I'm No King (Response to Conteena Chase 's song "I Love You My King")

[Verse 1] You call me King, but I'm not worthy If you knew the things I've done Prison walls and powder mornings I was always on the run I can't keep a job for long When my name brings doors shut tight And I hate the way my past Keeps crawling into our life [Pre-Chorus] I don't want to hurt you I don't want you wearing scars So I kept the whole truth buried Deep down in my dark [Chorus] I'm no king, I'm no king Not the man you see I'm no king, I'm no king Not somebody clean But you looked at all my broken And you still chose me You said, "You're my King" (You're my King) "Because of the way you love me" [Verse 2] So I told you 'bout the needle Told you 'bout the steel in the rain Told you 'bout the nights I vanished And the shame I couldn't shake I thought you'd back away from me Thought you'd see the wreck I was But you held my face and told me That was not the end of us [Pre-Chorus] You said truth is what you want Even when it cuts too deep You'd rather know the hard things Than a lie from a man like me [Chorus] I'm no king, I'm no king Not the man you see I'm no king, I'm no king Not somebody clean But you looked at all my broken And you still chose me You said, "You're my King" (You're my King) "Because of the way you love me" [Bridge] You said, "You tell me the truth No matter how hard it is And what you might lose" That's what love is I love you for today And who you've become Things are getting better now Yeah, better one by one [Final Chorus] I'm no king, I'm no king But you said it anyway I'm no king, I'm no king Still you saw my name Not for what I did back then But the man I am today You said, "You're my King" (You're my King) "I love you my King" (You're my King) "Because you learned how to stay"
