Jesse Ray Smith - Beggar's Throne

Who would’ve known the earth was gonna shake?
I said to you as I handed you a drink
Under the table set for 22, the guests had all arrived
I pulled you down only to find the earthquake was inside my heart
I was just a waiter catering to your every need
Dreaming of doing crazy things underneath the sheets
My body was a wholesome 35 but my heart was 17
I looked at you and felt the burdens of my poor boy dreams just fade away
Lately, I’m the lucky one
I was a beggar ’til you slipped me through the back door
Maybe ‘cause I showed you love
But I know the reason this just can’t carry on
Your daddy’s got someone that he wants you to love
So I'm left dying on a throne
I'm left dying on a throne
I know you felt the quake ripping through the room
It grabbed you by the chest as you put down your silver spoon
Then you turned to me and said waiter won’t you take my plate away
You excused yourself and followed me and showed me everything you knew of love
Lately, I’m the lucky one
I was a beggar ’til you slipped me through the back door
Maybe ‘cause I showed you love
But I know the reason this just can’t carry on
Your daddy’s got someone that he wants you to love
So I’m left dying on a throne
When being lovers is as easy as falling on the bed
But I’ve got to contend with what’s inside somebody's head
And if I had a gold watch and brand new limousine
I may not make you as happy as you can be
But people they don’t know what happiness means
So I'm left dying on a throne
I'm left dying on a throne
That you put me on
