King Of Wishful Thinking Lyrics

[Verse 1: Amy]
I don't need to fall at your feet
Just cause you cut me to the bone

And I don't miss the way that you kissed me, baby
We were never carved in stone

If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself

[Hook: Karmin]
I'll get over you, I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking


[Verse 2: Amy]
I refuse to give into my blues
That's not how it's gonna be, oh
And I deny the tears in my eyes
I don't wanna let you see, no
That you made a hole in my heart
And now I've got to fool myself


[Hook: Karmin]

[Verse 3: Amy]
Yeah, I'll be the king of wishful thinkin'
Buy me a drink and I'm honest like Abe Lincoln
It started out real casual but gradually he became e-e-everything to me
Oh yeah, we had our problems, thought we'd try to solve 'em
Maybe take a break or two and try to call him again
But baby be gone, now I wonder how long it's gonna take to move on
[Hook 2: Karmin]
I'll get over you, I know I will
You made a hole in my heart
But I won't shed a tear for you
I'm the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you, I know I will
I'll pretend my heart's still beating
Cause I've got no more tears for you
I'm the king of wishful thinking

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
