Lyrics for King Midas In Reverse

If you could only see me I know exactly where I am You wouldn't want to be me Oh, I can assure you of that I'm not the guy to run with 'Cause I'll throw you off the line I'll break you and destroy you Given time He's King Midas with a curse He's King Midas in reverse He's King Midas with a curse He's King Midas in reverse It's plain to see it's hopeless Going on the way we are So even though I'd lose you You'd be better off by far He's not the man to hold your trust Everything he touches turns to dust In his hands Nothing he can do is right He'd even like to sleep at night But he can't All he touches turns to dust All he touches turns to dust All he touches turns to dust All he touches turns to dust I wish someone would find me And help me gain control Before I lose my reason And my soul He's King Midas with a curse He's King Midas in reverse He's King Midas with a curse He's King Midas in reverse He's King Midas with a curse He's King Midas in reverse He's King Midas with a curse He's King Midas in reverse
