Jaque Mate

I've thought about it so many times
And I just want to tell you
That since you walked away from me
The perfect world doesn't exist anymore

Yesterday I sent you a letter
But you never replied
I think you lied to me too
Because you ran away from me

I want you to know one thing that
I never told you out of fear of losing
What you promised me every day
Even though you stopped loving me

You played with me like chess
When you were losing, you wanted to move
The piece you should never touch
Because if you do (because if you do)

Checkmate
That's what I did to you when I kissed you
Your lips with mine felt so right
I don't understand why you always wanted to lose
In this game that you were so good at

You were that queen and I, the pawn
Worried about dying from love
In every game, I sacrificed myself
To save the queen time and time again

Time and time again
Time and time again
And again

I keep thinking about that
And it won't leave my mind
Because the more you pull away
The more I want to see you up close

You tell me yes and then no
You say: Tomorrow will be better
You say I love you, but you say it
Because if you don't, it will hurt

And I want you to know one thing that
I never told you out of fear of losing
What you promised me every day
Even though you stopped loving me

You played with me like chess
When you were losing, you wanted to move
The piece you should never touch
Because if you do (because if you do)

Checkmate
That's what I did to you when I kissed you
Your lips with mine felt so right
I don't understand why you always wanted to lose
In this game that you were so good at

You were that queen and I, the pawn
Worried about dying from love
In every game, I sacrificed myself
To save the queen time and time again

Time and time again
Time and time again
And again
