Checkmate

Checkmate

There's a space on my bedside table

Where our photo used to sit

It's been empty for a while now

But lately I've been feeling okay with it

Threw out all your letters

Blocked you on my phone

Getting kind of used to calling you

Someone I used to love

See it turns out I'm better off

And I'm not even sad about

Actually I'm glad you did me a favour love

For thinking I wasn't worth it no

Just a devil in disguise with a pretty face

A heart as cold as ice

Too cruel to ever be kind

You don't deserve a heart

That's as good as mine

So checkmate you lost this one babe

You played such a bitter little game

But I'm the one it saved

Thank you for the lessons and the pain

I promise il never fall in love again

Cause now I know just how it ends

Well there's a place that I was dying to turn to

Cause I knew I'd see you there

But loving you it had taught me better

That I should stay the hell away from it too

Crooked and callous

You taught me to be jealous

While I was at home you were tucked in someone else's arms

Tell me are you sober yet cause I'm over it love

Il keep you was a promise you were destined to break

Cause you burned every bridge you ever tried to make

You love to hate

You love to hurt

Well darling I think I've heard enough

So checkmate you lost this one babe

You played such a bitter little game

But I'm the one it saved
