I can't YouTube at work but it is King of Anything by Sara Bareille--but here are the lyrics--reminded me of my own codependency and coming out of it. I blasted it on the way to work because xah is back to being his self-righteous thorn in my side.

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I’d say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

You’ve got opinions, man
We’re all entitled to ‘em, but I never asked
So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine
And get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe, but I’m not drowning
There’s no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

You sound so innocent, all full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset

I’m not the one who’s lost with no direction
But you’ll never see
You’re so busy making maps with my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down, just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it’s my turn to decide

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

Let me hold your crown, babe.

The first time I heard that song, I thought pretty much the same thing......

I read it and ask myself that question.

I love this song, but I guess I never really listened to the lyrics that closely! or maybe because I was too busy trying to convince my ABF, I couldn't see things from his perspective! Thanks for sharing!!

I wanna drop off a cd with that on it to my AH...

Who made you KING OF ANYTHING?

Wouldn't do any good though.

His answer would be: I am the KING OF MY HOUSE. PERIOD.

F** you and your house.

The longer I go nc the more I find myself wanting to send crap like this to him.

I have this song on my iPod right now along with Stronger, by Sara Evans, A Change Would do you Good by Sheryl Crow and many others. Whatever works, right?

Have had this song on my iPod since last summer. It really resonates with me!
