Checkmate Lyrics by Bonnie

0

[Verse]
I'm alive
But I don't know where I've been
And what I've done seems to be a sin
To me inside

Counting crows
As they fly over my shoulder
In the desert growing older
In your eyes

Lacking sleep
Because I stay awake all night
For you to turn down my invite
To no surprise

And you have no idea
These things that you do
And I'm sure that you'll never
Realize

[Chorus]
She's my queen
And I wanna make her mine
But pawns can only move
One little space at a time

And my bishop's jumped ship
And the knight's done for
So one by one
My friends fall off the board

You know that I hate
These games that we play
Sometimes I feel
You just use me for bait

So tell me my friend
Was it worth it in the end
When it's all said and done
Checkmate

[Chorus]
She's my queen
And I wanna make her mine
But pawns can only move
One little space at a time

And my bishop's jumped ship
And the knight's done for
So one by one
My friends fall off the board

You know that I hate
These games that we play
Sometimes I feel
You just use me for bait

So tell me my friend
Was it worth it in the end
When it's all said and done
Checkmate

[Chorus]
She's my queen
And I wanna make her mine
But pawns can only move
One little space at a time

And my bishop's jumped ship
And the knight's done for
So one by one
My friends fall off the board

You know that I hate
These games that we play
Sometimes I feel
You just use me for bait

So tell me my friend
Was it worth it in the end
When it's all said and done
Checkmate
