Pawn Takes Rook

Friday night, dressed up in your sunday’s best

You stopped asking if I got there yet

I've thought up every way to tell you no

And why you shouldn't go alone

And why I shouldn't go alone

You were so much better than me

Polite and right and some straight teeth

Find someone that will make you love yourself as much

As I loved you

It's a goddamn shame that you ever changed your name

I'm the pawn and you're the rook and you played me like a crook

I never wanted it to end this way

You wanted some change and you changed what you want

Tall, dark, and handsome

I am being blunt

Bound and gagged and hands were cuffed

Now you only call when things get rough

You were so much better than me

Polite and right and some straight teeth

Find someone that will make you love yourself as much

As I loved you

It's a goddamn shame that you ever changed your name

I'm the pawn and you're the rook and you played me like a crook

I never wanted it to end this way

It's a goddamn, it's a goddamn

I'm the pawn and you're the rook and you played my like a crook

I never wanted it to end this way

I told you how you're wrong, I kept it clean

The coffee table talks and a blank tv screen

I preached life and what it means

How I'm a terrible man

It's ingrained in my genes and it doesn't mean shit to me

Its a goddamn, it's a goddamn

I'm the pawn and you're the rook and you played my like a crook

I never wanted it to end this way
