King of Princes

You in pictures with a new man
Camera clicks and drinks in hand
Damn it, do you call his name
With that same refrain
Wish I knew enough to write and toil
But the truth is you're just gone
Couldn't find your page or name
In any phonebook that came

Oh
Wish I'd go back in time and obey
Your wishes to have me around, to make me stay
Oh
I recall you as shy but why'd you have to hide away
I wanted "open up more" not slam the door and stay
Shut

I wonder if you're still alive I hope that much is so
I'm sorry for my rambling nature when silence was apropos
Zero, I won't demand no words just tell me you're awake
I loved you more to leave you or address you as your name
I wish that I had known right now the boy I'd known back then
My only hope is that you're breathing and smiling if you can
My king of princes I wish I had photographed your face
If only when I left I knew you'd never be replaced
