Verse 1:

Young and fresh, wild and free;

I loved how much you loved on me.

You were quiet, strong, and true—

Trapping me in life with you.

Chorus:

And all the king’s horses

And all the king’s men—

Couldn’t convince me that your forever

Was enough to fill my heart. So then—

Verse 2:

I walked away, not looking back;

Craving freedom, and I got that.

He was different—more like me;

Laughing, crazy. Wild and free.

484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDGQmtIbfU

Chorus:

But all the king’s horses

And all the king’s men—

Couldn’t shake the sinking feeling

I’d broken you so I could win.

Bridge:

With him I had the thrill, but not the most important part—

And freedom tasted hot and salty,

Like droplets of two broken hearts.

484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGkVBOxAEQ

Chorus:

And all the king’s horses

And all the king’s men—

Couldn’t catch enough drops of tears

To fill my shattered heart again.

484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofnq1UoKjK

Verse 3:

No regrets, just lessons learned—

I fought the bridges I had burned.

I bent and broke, fell on my knees.

Painful words: “I’m sorry. Please!”

484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIFz6dhPmX

Chorus:

And all the king’s horses

And all the king’s men—

Couldn’t stamp out that flame of hope

When you let me in your arms again.

484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrO3JRfMPE

Verse 4:

With you I have it all—you’re the most important part.

Quiet, faithful, strong and true—

Your love mended both our hearts.

484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi6V9VyuOZ

Chorus:

And all the king’s horses

And all the king’s men—

Can’t find any shattered pieces,

‘Cause two hearts beat as one again.
