King Of Sabotage
Ferras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're unbelievable, undefeatable, the number one, you're the champion
You're a genius, a superstar, when those castle walls begin to fall
You crown yourself the king of sabotage
I want to love you, but I can't
Cause I don't know, if I can forgive you
For all those stupid things you said
(Hey) When life is beautiful
(Hey) Baby you destroy it all
You think you don't deserve it
When everything is perfect
The original king of sabotage
You're no good anymore
(Hey) When you should be wonderful
Baby was it worth it
When the curtain closes
A round of applause
For the king of sabotage
Apologies on the tip of your tongue
There's no strategy to remedy
Can't you see the damage you have done, oh
I want to love you, but I can't
Cause I don't know, if I can forgive you
For all those stupid things you said
And all your empty promises
(Hey) When life is beautiful
(Hey) Baby you destroy it all
You think you don't deserve it
When everything is perfect
The original king of sabotage
You're no good anymore
(Hey) When you should be wonderful
Baby was it worth it
When the curtain closes
A round of applause
For the king of sabotage
You were built to self destruct
You fucked it up
I tried to love you, but I can't
'Cause I don't know, if I can forgive you
(Hey) When life is beautiful
(Hey) Baby you destroy it all
You think you don't deserve it
When everything is perfect
The original king of sabotage
You're no good anymore
(Hey) When you should be wonderful
Baby was it worth it
When the curtain closes
A round of applause
For the king of sabotage
