How do you feel when the king has gotta lie down When you found out and see that is something that couldn’t work out You thought that you’d be ready but I knew that you always had your doubts I just wanted to be the one to save you, the one that knew how But this all would have a ending, it was so clear to see ‘Cause you couldn’t wrap your head around the jealousy
(Chorus) I’m calling checkmate, checkmate I’m calling checkmate on you baby I’m calling checkmate, checkmate You are gonna lose ‘cause you chose to make the moves you make Checkmate, checkmate I’m calling checkmate on you baby Oh I’m calling checkmate, checkmate Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make
(Verse) Said how are you feeling when the king has gotta lie down? ‘Cause you put up a wall around your castle and I just can’t climb around I can hear you on the other side of it, screaming But you’re too afraid to face the demons So you let your heart just take a beating And I’m the one who pays for it, think I gotta get
(Chorus) I’m calling checkmate, checkmate I’m calling checkmate on you baby I’m calling checkmate, checkmate You are gonna lose ‘cause you chose to make the moves you make Checkmate, checkmate I’m calling checkmate on you baby Oh I’m calling checkmate, checkmate Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make
(Bridge) And I don’t really wanna do this Girl it’s breaking my heart in two Yes I’d give anything to keep on playing here with you And maybe we can pick these pieces up and start again another day when things have changed But you left me with no other moves to choose
(Chorus) Checkmate I’m calling checkmate on you baby I’m calling checkmate, checkmate You are gonna lose ‘cause you chose to make the moves you make Checkmate, checkmate I’m calling checkmate on you baby Oh I’m calling checkmate, checkmate Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make
I ran out of options I ran out of options
How do you feel when the king has gotta lie down When you found out and see that is something that couldn’t work out You thought that you’d be ready but I knew that you always had your doubts I just wanted to be the one to save you, the one that knew how But this all would have a ending, it was so clear to see ‘Cause you couldn’t wrap your head around the jealousy
(Chorus) I’m calling checkmate, checkmate I’m calling checkmate on you baby I’m calling checkmate, checkmate You are gonna lose ‘cause you chose to make the moves you make Checkmate, checkmate I’m calling checkmate on you baby Oh I’m calling checkmate, checkmate Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make
