Lyrics

[00:12.12] How do you feel when the king has gotta lie down
[00:18.08] When you found out and see that is something that couldn't work out
[00:24.32] You thought that you'd be ready but I knew that you always had your doubts
[00:30.10] I just wanted to be the one to save you, the one that knew how
[00:36.65] But this all would have a ending, it was so clear to see
[00:42.56] 'Cause you couldn't wrap your head around the jealousy
[00:47.20] (Chorus)
[00:49.06] Its why I'm calling checkmate, checkmate
[00:52.24] I'm calling checkmate on you baby
[00:55.48] I'm calling checkmate, checkmate
[00:58.21] You are gonna lose 'cause you chose to make the moves you make
[01:01.69] Checkmate, checkmate
[01:04.40] I'm calling checkmate on you baby
[01:07.14] Oh I'm calling checkmate, checkmate
[01:10.34] Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make
[01:25.40] Said how are you feeling when the king has gotta lie down?
[01:31.33] 'Cause you put up a wall around your castle and I just can't climb around
[01:37.35] I can hear you on the other side of it, screaming
[01:40.93] But you're too afraid to face the demons
[01:43.91] So you let your heart just take a beating
[01:46.88] And I'm the one who pays for it, think I gotta get
[01:50.22] (Chorus)
[01:50.49] I'm calling checkmate, checkmate
[01:53.33] I'm calling checkmate on you baby
[01:56.02] I'm calling checkmate, checkmate
[01:59.17] You are gonna lose 'cause you chose to make the moves you make
[02:02.93] Checkmate, checkmate
[02:05.66] I'm calling checkmate on you baby
[02:08.58] Oh I'm calling checkmate, checkmate
[02:11.35] Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make
[02:15.14] (Bridge)
[02:15.45] And I don't really wanna do this
[02:19.53] Girl it's breaking my heart in two
[02:22.72] Yes I'd give anything to keep on playing here with you
[02:29.37] And maybe we can pick these pieces up and start again another day when things have changed
[02:34.85] But you left me with no other moves to choose
[02:37.97] (Chorus)
[02:39.77] Checkmate
[02:42.41] I'm calling checkmate on you baby
[02:45.55] I'm calling checkmate, checkmate
[02:48.32] You are gonna lose 'cause you chose to make the moves you make
[02:52.05] Checkmate, checkmate
[02:54.77] I'm calling checkmate on you baby
[02:57.61] Oh I'm calling checkmate, checkmate
[03:00.33] Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make
[03:12.98] I ran out of options
[03:15.75] I ran out of options
