King of Sorrow by Sade

Artist: Sade

Genre: Pop

Length: 4:53

Sade is carrying a heavy heart after a breakdown in her relationship. It appears there is no solutions to their issues as she wallows in grief, even if the dj is playing different songs in a setlist, they all sound the same to her through this portion of emotions. Leaving the situation is an option in spite of what the future may hold but ultimately this is a internal journey to persevere through the “private war”.

King of Sorrow lyrics

I'm crying everyone's tears
And there inside our private war
I died the night before
And all of these remnants of joy and disaster
What am I supposed to do?
I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul
But nothin' would change, nothin' would change at all
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothin's any good
The DJ's playin' the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder if this grief will ever let me go
I feel like I am the King of Sorrow, yeah
The King of Sorrow
I suppose I could just walk away
Will I disappoint my future if I stay?
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothin's any good
The DJ's playin' the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder will this grief ever be gone
Will it ever go?
I'm the King of Sorrow, yeah
The King of Sorrow
I'm crying everyone's tears
I have already paid for all my future sins
There's nothing anyone
Can say to take this away
It's just another day and nothin's any good
I'm the King of Sorrow, yeah
King of Sorrow
King of Sorrow, oh
King of Sorrow, oh yeah
Of Sorrow
King of Sorrow, mm, yeah
King of Sorrow, oh, oh
King of Sorrow, oh, yeah
