Checkmate

My life is an uphill battle
Keeping me on my toes
It’s delicate and fragile
When it stops
Nobody knows

It takes time to get it right
Practice days and practice nights
It takes time to get it right

I’ve kept my head straight
Through the ups and downs
And the constant lying
I’m calling checkmate
Yeah you made your move
And I know you’re trying
It’s all a game
But I know for sure
That I’ll play it safe

I’m calling checkmate

My minds on autopilot
It’s keeping me awake
I close my eyes to fight it
But I can’t keep it away

It takes time to get it right
Practice days and practice nights
It takes time to get it right

I’ve kept my head straight
Through the ups and downs
And the constant lying
I’m calling checkmate
Yeah you made your move
And I know you’re trying
It’s all a game
But I know for sure
That I’ll play it safe

You thought you knew me
But I guess you didn’t so…

I’ve kept my head straight
Through the ups and downs
And the constant lying
I’m calling checkmate
Yeah you made your move
And I know you’re trying
It’s all a game
But I know for sure
That I’ll play it safe
