Erica Mulkey - I Could Have k**ed the King lyrics

I awake in strong arms and soft sheets I lay in bed with the king I don't know how I got here My head on his left shoulder, he's still asleep When palace guards enter: “I'm a lover now, not an a**a**in,” I say They laugh, roll their eyes and walk away As if I were never a threat As if I couldn't have done anything As if I couldn't have k**ed the king I could've done something I could've k**ed the king My only hope was to seduce Poison hidden in my tooth, and I immune And I would play at helpless And never confess And I'd be rescued the damsel in distress But our hope that this kingdom Could've been all of ours seems a delusion And to be a royal concubine may be my best option He covers me with kisses, tells me what a lucky girl I am To use my only power to destroy Or to be power's toy If I stay and pretend to love him Everything is tinged with disappointment Whether or not love is ever real I could've done something I could've done something I could've k**ed the king I could've done something I could've k**ed the king To use my only power to destroy Or to be power's toy To use my only power to destroy Or to be power's toy I could've done something I could've k**ed the king
