| How do you feel when the king has gotta lie down | |
| When you found out and see that is something that couldn’t work out | |
| You thought that you’d be ready but I knew that you always had your doubts | |
| I just wanted to be the one to save you, the one that knew how | |
| But this all would have a ending, it was so clear to see | |
| ‘Cause you couldn’t wrap your head around the jealousy | |
| (Chorus) | |
| I’m calling checkmate, checkmate | |
| I’m calling checkmate on you baby | |
| I’m calling checkmate, checkmate | |
| You are gonna lose ‘cause you chose to make the moves you make | |
| Checkmate, checkmate | |
| I’m calling checkmate on you baby | |
| Oh I’m calling checkmate, checkmate | |
| Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make | |
| (Verse) | |
| Said how are you feeling when the king has gotta lie down? | |
| ‘Cause you put up a wall around your castle and I just can’t climb around | |
| I can hear you on the other side of it, screaming | |
| But you’re too afraid to face the demons | |
| So you let your heart just take a beating | |
| And I’m the one who pays for it, think I gotta get | |
| (Chorus) | |
| I’m calling checkmate, checkmate | |
| I’m calling checkmate on you baby | |
| I’m calling checkmate, checkmate | |
| You are gonna lose ‘cause you chose to make the moves you make | |
| Checkmate, checkmate | |
| I’m calling checkmate on you baby | |
| Oh I’m calling checkmate, checkmate | |
| Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make | |
| (Bridge) | |
| And I don’t really wanna do this | |
| Girl it’s breaking my heart in two | |
| Yes I’d give anything to keep on playing here with you | |
| And maybe we can pick these pieces up and start again another day when things have changed | |
| But you left me with no other moves to choose | |
| (Chorus) | |
| Checkmate | |
| I’m calling checkmate on you baby | |
| I’m calling checkmate, checkmate | |
| You are gonna lose ‘cause you chose to make the moves you make | |
| Checkmate, checkmate | |
| I’m calling checkmate on you baby | |
| Oh I’m calling checkmate, checkmate | |
| Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make | |
| I ran out of options | |
| I ran out of options |
| How do you feel when the king has gotta lie down | |
| When you found out and see that is something that couldn' t work out | |
| You thought that you' d be ready but I knew that you always had your doubts | |
