Pawn Takes Rook

Friday night, dressed up in your Sunday's best You stopped asking if I got there yet I 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 god damn 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 change 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 god damn 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 god damn It's a god damn I'm the pawn and you're the rook And you played me like a crook I never wanted it to end this way I told you how you were wrong, I can't be clean Coffee tabletops and a blank TV screen And I preach life and what it means How I'm a terrible man, it's ingrained in my genes But it doesn't mean shit to me It's a god damn It's a god damn 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 god damn shame I'm the pawn and you're the rook And you played me like a crook I never wanted it to end this way Friday night, dressed up in your Sunday's best You stopped asking if I got there yet
