King of the Mountain — текст песни (Matt Nathanson)

I`ve been fascinated with lost love for sometime now
and I`m not quite sure why
I`ve been waking up to the images that I thought I`d left behind
But they`re just as clear,
and just as naive as they were before
But now they seem more beautiful,
the past always seems more beautiful
I`m not the same child that I once was
I left my compassion on the side of the road
when I learned the power of ego and confidence,
all to please you
But I`m sure that you regret it now
I`m sure that You regret me now
Because I do.
All my desire and all my innocence burned away
Just the evil remains, just the judgement remains
And here I stand king of the mountain, all alone,
surrounded by pain that I brought on myself.
