Pawn Lyrics

I'd give you the world

But I'll never be enough

Cause to you I'm just a girl

I was a fool to want your love

Sometimes I feel like

I'm just a pawn

And when I'm called upon

By a king or queen to defend

I'm just the sacrifice and left for dead

I'm only used to get ahead

And then the game starts over again

It feels wrong

No game's long anymore

You're either in or they close the door

There must be more that I'm needed for

I used to really like chess

There's a whole world we could've claimed

And I would never rest

Until I knew my king was safe

I only wanted to protect

But didn't know when the game was set

The piece I was to play

Thought the board was ours to claim

But I'm just a pawn

And when I'm called upon

By a king or queen to defend

I'm just the sacrifice and left for dead

I'm only used to get ahead

And then the game starts over again

It feels wrong

No game's long anymore

You're either in or they close the door

There must be more that I'm needed for

The rooks are laughing

Cause from top of their towers

They saw me fall a mile away

The knights come back being the talk of the town

But when I do there's nothing to say

The bishops say that's just life these days

The king and queen will continue to reign

They think that they can do nothing wrong

To a pawn in their messed up game

And it's wrong

I don't want this anymore

It's time to leave and close the door

Cause there's more that I'm needed for
