Lyrics

WHEN YOU ACT LIKE A KING

When you act like a king
So others will follow
And so you won't crumble
When the light hits your face
Your Highness, your crown
Must come off when you're down
In the land of those
Who knew you when

Once upon a time
When you were just the Prince of Charm
You made the mistake
Showing your kind and weaker side
So when you act like a king
You forget you can't hide behind
What you create, oh
It's an illusion

And I was never the fool
You underestimate my pride
There are no rules
There are no rulers

When you act like a king
So others will follow
And so you won't crumble
When the light hits your face
Your Highness, your crown
Must come off when you're down
In the land of those
Who knew you when

Once upon a time
When you were just the Prince of Charm
You made the mistake
Showing your kind and weaker side
So when you act like a king
You forget you can't hide behind
What you create, oh
It's an illusion

And I was never the fool
You underestimate my pride
There are no rules
There are no rulers
