Whatever you love
In your life
Hold in your hand
Knuckles all white
Whatever you say
Keep your story straight
Whatever you need
Early and late
Whatever you've found
You take as the truth
Believe me, believe me
You will lose

(My king, you have been king in the past)
(Nothing lasts)
(Nothing lasts)

Each time I came
Heeded your call
I learned the same
Lesson I'd fall
To the heart of the well
With the coins and the shoes
Everything's brighter
A day before you
And it's a shame
Like chipping a tooth
Believe me, believe me
I learned how to lose

(My king, you have been king in the past)
(Nothing lasts)
(Nothing lasts)
(My king, you have been king in the past)
(Nothing lasts)
(Nothing lasts)
(My king, you have been king in the past)
(Nothing lasts)
(Nothing lasts)
