Checkmate Lyrics

Thinking back to the time we had

Didn't realise you treated me bad

Kept me waiting for your love

How did I miss that that was so messed up

Told me you didn't have the time

So I just spent all of mine

Waiting for your love (God!)

That's just so fucking messed up

(But now you're gone)

You don't wanna call me

anymore

(What have I done)

Should I call you, text you, just ignore

(Treated me wrong)

So I'm gonna look down to the board

Want to take my next move on

But if life would be chess

I'd be checkmate

It is such a mess

Don't know how to escape

Surrounded by traps

Have to sit still until I accept

That I'm checkmate

If life would be chess

I'd be checkmate

It's hard to confess

But the truth must be said

This game is hopeless

Have to sit here and just accept

That I'm checkmate

We were never more than friends

I always had to pretend

Like I didn't fall in love

Guess that's why things got so messed up

(But now you're gone)

You don't wanna call me anymore

(What have I done)

Should I call you, text you, just ignore

(Treated me wrong)

So I'm gonna look down to the board

Want to take my next move on

But if life would be chess

I'd be checkmate

It is such a mess

Don't know how to escape

Surrounded by traps

Have to sit still until I accept

That I'm checkmate

If life would be chess

I'd be checkmate

It's hard to confess

But the truth must be said

This game is hopeless

Have to sit here and just accept

That I'm checkmate

(...)

So I stand up

Put my sleeves up

Accept failure

Take the board back

Start new games and

Start to play and

I know this time I'm not loosing

Life would be chess

I'd be checkmate

It is such a mess don't how escape (don't know escape)

Surrounded by traps

Have to sit still until I accept (don't know to, don't know how to)

That I'm checkmate

If life would be chess

I'd be checkmate

It's hard to confess

But the truth must be said

This game is hopeless (I'm hopeless)

Have to sit here and just accept

That I'm checkmate
