Checkmate Lyrics

Broken branches under my feet

We're not what you thought we used to be

Cold ground, tripping, rocks keep falling from my

Pockets, can't seem to hold them all

Can't add your baggage to my load

Can't fix your problems when I've got too many of my own

I know you're hurting but dragging you along keeps me

In the storm that I've been running from

And I've hit rock bottom

With no way out

I carry this burden well, but it's heavy

No one wants someone who acts like he doesn't care

I'm living on fire, trying not to burn out

No one wants someone who feels like a nightmare

And if you were my soulmate

Then I'm living in checkmate

Rain starts falling, mud is everywhere

And I can't get up this hill with you on my back

Memories of sunshine flash before my eyes

And it almost makes me even more sad

Can't add your baggage to my load

Can't fix your problems when I've got too many of my own

I know you're hurting but dragging you along keeps me

In the storm that I've been running from

And I've hit rock bottom

With no way out

I carry this burden well, but it's heavy

No one wants someone who acts like he doesn't care

I'm living on fire, trying not to burn out

No one wants someone who feels like a nightmare

And if you were my soulmate

Then I'm living in checkmate

Perpetual despair brings you through the woods

Back to lay down at my feet

But I won't pick you up this time, barely have strength enough for me

I'm leaving you behind with trembling knees

Can't add your baggage to my load

Can't fix your problems when I've got too many of my own

I know you're hurting but dragging you along keeps me

In the storm that I've been running from

And I've hit rock bottom

With no way out

I carry this burden well, but it's heavy

No one wants someone who acts like he doesn't care

I'm living on fire, trying not to burn out

No one wants someone who feels like a nightmare

And if you were my soulmate

Then I'm living in checkmate

Broken branches under my feet

We're not what you thought we used to be
