King of Contradiction

How come I always really really want
A lot of things that I just can’t have
And though I want it, there’s no answer to this question
Is it the touch I’ve never felt
That might finally cause the ice to melt
And is desire a disease or just a symptom

CHORUS
I struggle with this problem
Searching for facts, living with fiction
Am I a slave to possibility
Or the king of contradiction

Every time I turn around and see
That I’m exactly where I’m meant to be
And I have worked so hard to try to build a strong foundation
Then the options like and earthquake hit
I try to balance while the fault line shifts
And I wonder if I need a new location

CHORUS

Every time I look around, And try to guess which way to turn
It always starts to bring me down,
Until I realize all I have learned
What I’ve learned is simple, What I’ve learned is this
Its not the things that we’ve been missing
But love that makes us rich

I know I’ll never really, really get
A lot of things that I think I want
I have come to know its just a part of man’s condition
And from somebody else’s POV
A lot of people want to be like me
And sometimes you can’t tell the victor from the victim

CHORUS
