(Verse)
|
How do you feel when the king has gotta lie down
|
When you found out and see that is something that couldn¡¯t work out
|
You thought that you¡¯d be ready but I knew that you always had your doubts
|
I just wanted to be the one to save you, the one that knew how
|
But this all would have a ending, it was so clear to see
|
¡®Cause you couldn¡¯t wrap your head around the jealousy
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I¡¯m calling checkmate, checkmate
|
I¡¯m calling checkmate on you baby
|
I¡¯m calling checkmate, checkmate
|
You are gonna lose ¡®cause you chose to make the moves you make
|
Checkmate, checkmate
|
I¡¯m calling checkmate on you baby
|
Oh I¡¯m calling checkmate, checkmate
|
Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make
|
|
(Verse)
|
Said how are you feeling when the king has gotta lie down?
|
¡®Cause you put up a wall around your castle and I just can¡¯t climb around
|
I can hear you on the other side of it, screaming
|
But you¡¯re too afraid to face the demons
|
So you let your heart just take a beating
|
And I¡¯m the one who pays for it, think I gotta get
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I¡¯m calling checkmate, checkmate
|
I¡¯m calling checkmate on you baby
|
I¡¯m calling checkmate, checkmate
|
You are gonna lose ¡®cause you chose to make the moves you make
|
Checkmate, checkmate
|
I¡¯m calling checkmate on you baby
|
Oh I¡¯m calling checkmate, checkmate
|
Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make
|
|
(Bridge)
|
And I don¡¯t really wanna do this
|
Girl it¡¯s breaking my heart in two
|
Yes I¡¯d give anything to keep on playing here with you
|
And maybe we can pick these pieces up and start again another day when things have changed
|
But you left me with no other moves to choose
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Checkmate
|
I¡¯m calling checkmate on you baby
|
I¡¯m calling checkmate, checkmate
|
You are gonna lose ¡®cause you chose to make the moves you make
|
Checkmate, checkmate
|
I¡¯m calling checkmate on you baby
|
Oh I¡¯m calling checkmate, checkmate
|
Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make
|
|
I ran out of options
|
I ran out of options
|
