King Of Pain by Aura Dione Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How is it possible
That beauty still must die and go to waste?
Are we just butterflies with scars?
What is that endless lust
In all of us that forces us to change?
Nobody wants to go that far

[Hook]
I had to learn to play the part
It gonna hurt before it starts

[Chorus]
Darling, I'm sorry for the shit I gave you
Darling, I'm sorry for the fears that made you
All the money in the world couldn't save you
But I tried, I tried, I tried
Oh, darling, it's over and I don't need you
Honey, life's cruel and it will tease you
It's your ego that will defeat you
And it dies, dies, dies this time
[Verse 2]
How is it possible
To still believe what never could be true?
I'm standing here naked and afraid
But there's no redemption
For the kind of sins that fester in your brain
You'll always be the king of pain

[Hook]
I had to learn to play the part
It gonna hurt before it starts

[Chorus]
Darling, I'm sorry for the shit I gave you
Darling, I'm sorry for the fears that made you
All the money in the world couldn't save you
But I tried, I tried, I tried
Oh, darling, it's over and I don't need you
Honey, life's cruel and it will tease you
It's your ego that will defeat you
And it dies, dies, dies this time

[Bridge]
You got a million in your hand
You got a million in your hand
You got a billion in the bank
But a bag full of stones
[Chorus]
Darling, I'm sorry for the shit I gave you
Darling, I'm sorry for the fears that made you
All the women in the world couldn't save you
But I tried, I tried, I tried
Oh, darling, it's over and I don't need you
Honey, life's cruel and it will tease you
It's your ego that will defeat you
And it dies, dies, dies this time
