Lyrics
Verse
Derrick Harvey, you had me spinning
Thought you were the start of my new beginning
But you left me hanging like a broken swing
Now you're just a name I don't wanna sing
Oh I wrote your name in every line
But boy you ain't worth my time
Chorus
Derrick Harvey, I was a fool
Thought you were gold but you're just old school
Derrick Harvey, you're out the door
I had a crush on you, but not no more
Verse
You wore that jacket like you owned the room
Had me believing you'd light up my gloom
But turns out you're just another tune
That fades away by the afternoon
I ain't crying, I ain't blue
Just deleting every thought of you
Chorus
Derrick Harvey, who are you
Oh, wait I forgot I don't care too
Derrick Harvey, I was a fool
Thought you were gold, but you're just old school
Derrick Harvey, you're out the door
I had a crush on you, but not anymore
Verse
William King you’re in my head
You’re the spark that turns it red
Your smile’s a comet across my night
Blazing trails
Stealing light
Do you see me standing here
Or am I just thin air, my dear
Chorus
King William, oh, can’t you see
You’ve got a kingdom inside of me
Every heartbeat bows to you
King William, what do I do
Verse
You walk by like you own the sun
Every step’s a battle won
I’m just a pawn in your parade
But I’d follow every move you made
Crown of charm, throne of grace
I’m lost in your royal space
Is it silly is it bold
Do you see me standing here
Or am I just thin air, my dear
Chorus
King William oh, can’t you see
You’ve got a kingdom inside of me
Every heartbeat bows to you
King William what do I do
Bridge
You walk by like you own the sun
Every step’s a battle won
I’m just a pawn in your parade
But I’d follow every move you made
Crown of charm throne of grace
I’m lost in your royal space
Is it silly is it bold
To hope for a hand I’ll never hold
Chorus
King William oh, can’t you see
You’ve got a kingdom inside of me
Every heartbeat bows to you
King William what do I do
Verse
I see you every day you're walking by my side (yeah)
But I can feel the tension like a wave we're caught in a tide (oh)
You smile at me but deep inside you turn away (nah)
It's hard to love a boy who hates me still I stay (I stay)
Chorus
(I thought it was me) - Why can’t you see what you’ve done to me
(I thought it was me) - trapped in your heart it’s a bittersweet melody
We laugh together we share a secret world of our own
But every touch feels empty and I'm left here all alone
You talk about your future and I'm never in the frame (never)
But a glimmer of hope keeps me from walking away from your game
(I thought it was me) - Why can’t you see what you’ve done to me
(I thought it was me) - trapped in your heart it’s a bittersweet melody
Chorus
And I've seen the look in your eyes when you look past me
But I convince myself you're just not ready for what you see
I'm a fool for thinking I could make you change your mind
million different people but I'm the one you left behind
(I thought
