King of Sorrow
Sade Lyrics

I'm crying everyone's tears
I am feeling and experiencing the pain of those around me.

And there inside our private war
In the context of our personal struggles and conflicts.

I died the night before
My emotional pain and trauma is overwhelming me.

And all of these remnants of joy and disaster
Both the positive and negative moments of my past still linger in my mind.

What am I supposed to do?
I am at a loss and unsure of how to handle my emotions and situation.

I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul
I wish to comfort and care for the ones I love.

But nothing would change, nothing would change at all
Despite my efforts, the underlying problems and pain would remain.

It's just a day that brings it all about
Simply another day that reminds me of my grief and hardships.

Just another day and nothing's any good
I am struggling and unable to find any joy or solace in my daily life.

The DJ's playing the same song
The repetition of mundane things makes me feel trapped in my sorrow.

I have so much to do
Despite my pain, I still have obligations and responsibilities to fulfill.

I have to carry on
I must push through and continue living despite my pain.

I wonder if this grief will ever let me go
I question if I will ever be able to move on and heal from my pain.

I feel like I am the king of sorrow, yeah
My pain is consuming me and I feel helpless to overcome it.

The king of sorrow
The overwhelming ruler of my emotional pain and hardship.

I suppose I could just walk away
I consider escaping from my pain and difficulties by leaving the situation altogether.

Will I disappoint my future if I stay
I worry that choosing to stay and face my pain could negatively impact my future.

I wonder will this grief ever be gone
I am unsure if I will ever be truly free from my emotional pain.

Will it ever go
A simple question, but one that carries the weight of my desperation and uncertainty.

I have already paid for all my future sins
My current pain and suffering is so intense that it feels like I am being punished for things I haven't even done yet.

There's nothing anyone
No one can truly understand what I am going through or make my pain disappear.

Can say to take this away
The only one who can truly change my situation is me, but I am struggling to do so.

Oh yeah
An expression of grief and pain that persists even as time passes.
