Gave my cloudless sky for your crooked scraper
I put in everything, I called in every favour
But give a man one sword he's thinks that's he's a saviour
Watch him ride around, fucking weird behaviour
Guess I walked so you could run, all the way from me
'Cause once you got what you want, you didn't want me
I put gold on your head, should've put wax paper
Did get you off going to bed, with the kingmaker

Let you in my home, let you in my pictures
I was your pedestal, and all I got was splinters
Should've seen it in the way you hate your sister
You love a strong woman, until it makes you bitter
Guess I walked so you could run, all the way from me
Now you say your self made, guess your memory's fuzzy
I put a crown on your head, should've put a wax paper
Did get you off going to bed, with the kingmaker

Oh kingmaker
Oh kingmaker
Oh kingmaker
Oh kingmaker

I can't say that I saw five, but I saw star potential
Another sweet sweet boy that I took out the kennel
Back when his ego and his bark, were mostly gentle
Left me in pieces, for me to reassemble
Guess I walk so they can run, all the way from me
But they don't have big enough guts, for all that glory
They'll take my crown, head out west and forget their creator
Then they'll come back, they always do, to the kingmaker

Oh kingmaker
Oh kingmaker
Oh kingmaker
Oh kingmaker

You double cross, you star chaser
You little boy, you word breaker
Now look at you, the big player
And look at me, the kingmaker
