CheckMate

(Album: Youth Is Wasted - 2016)

It started with a kiss
Alone in the abyss
We used to be strangers
We were just strangers
And every step we'd take
And every move we'd play
Your heart is in danger
In a dance with a stranger

Your scars will send your tears to say it's over
And your heart will bend the rules to suit the soldier
When love has the power play
Checkmate!

We're losers in the game of love, my love
We're losers in the game of love, my love

We'll take the future blind
You'll trust your heart with mine
And I'll try to take it and hope not to break it
But I'll see it in your eyes
I'm not much for long goodbyes
Let me do us a favor
Cause sooner or later

Your scars will send your tears to say it's over
And your heart will bend the rules to suit the soldier
When love has the power play
Checkmate!

We're losers in the game of love, my love
We're losers in the game of love, my love

Yeah, baby
Turn around and trust your hesitation
Cause I can only hurt you when I fall
And everyone must fall
I'd rather watch you walk away
Than to take you with me down in flames
I'll always love you baby

Your scars will send your tears to say it's over
And your heart will bend the rules to suit the soldier
When love has the power play
Checkmate!
