Day 15: a song that describes you

What I love about this song is how the girl finally stands up for herself when someone tries to tell her what she needs to do with her life. If there’s one thing I learned about life last year, it’s that the path for one person is not the path for someone else, and no matter how much someone may think they have you figured out and know what’s best for you, they don’t. They absolutely DO NOT.

I don’t think this song describes me so much as it puts into words the way I feel about being told how to live. Pfft.

King of Anything, by Sara Bareilles

Keep drinkin’ coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I’d say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

You’ve got opinions, man
We’re all entitled to ‘em
But I never asked
So let me thank you for time and try to not waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you, babe
But I’m not drowning
There’s no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

You sound so innocent, all full of good intent
You swear you know best
But you expect me to jump up on board with you
Ride off into your delusional sunset

I’m not the one who’s lost with no direction
But you won’t ever see
You’re so busy makin’ maps with my name on them in all caps
You got the talkin’ down, just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide
Waitin’ for someone to tell me it’s my turn to decide

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

Let me hold your crown, babe
