King of Might Have Been
[Verse 1: Jason Scheff]
What have I done?
And why do people run away
From what they really want?
She, she was the one
I know it now, just like a blind man
Feels the setting sun
Once upon a time
I had everything I ever wanted
Everything I'd need
The more she tried to give me
The more I took for granted
Her majesty, and I can't believe...

[Chorus: Jason Scheff, with bandmates]
Oh, it's really over now
And I've got to live without
The love I'll never have again
If this is what losing means
Well, then I've lost everything
Now I'm the king of might have been

[Verse 2: Jason Scheff, with bandmates, (Bandmates)]
I'm all alone
With a hundred percent of nothing now
Just a fool upon his throne
She's, she's moving on (She's moving on)
She's gonna be somebody's everything
And I hope that he knows...
That all she ever needed
Was the chance to be completed
And to feel the light of love
What should've been, what could've been
Doesn't matter now
She's history
And I can't believe...
[Chorus: Jason Scheff, with bandmates, (Bandmates)]
Oh, it's really over now
And I've got to live without
The love I'll never have again
If this is what losing means
Well, then I've lost everything (Everything)
Now I'm the king of might have been

[Bridge: All, Jason Scheff]
If I could do it all again
I would never let it end
I'd fight for us
If I just
Had one more chance

[Chorus: Jason Scheff, with bandmates, (Bandmates)]
Oh, it's really over now
And I've got to live without (Live without)
The love I'll never have again
If this is what losing means
Well, then I've lost everything (Everything)
Now I'm the king of might have—
King of might have—
King of might have—
Been
