Lyrics

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

(All he touches turns to dust)

He's King Midas in reverse

(All he touches turns to dust)

He's King Midas with a curse

(All he touches turns to dust)

He's King Midas in reverse

(All he touches turns to dust)

He's King Midas with a curse...
