Pawns and Queens Lyrics

I am for you, and you were for me

We're like a pair of cross-loved lovers just trying to believe

And I don't know how, and I don't know why

Because the more I believe, the more I think I'll die

You said you loved me, and I said it back

I wasn't quite ready for that heart attack

But together we flourished, thought there'd be no end

Now you're picking out flowers with your new boyfriend

You'll come crawling back to me, I swear

Why don't you wait and see

Call me a fool cause baby I think it too

I'm holding on to a dream of when you were just you

The tighter I hold, the faster I fall

Into the abyss, just waiting for you to call

When I first saw you there

You gave me a long stare

Then you sat beside me

Now you walk behind me

All a game, wish it'd been harder

Pawns and queens, should've been smarter

Thought I'd saved you, Montague slaughter

Now I see, I was your martyr

You stepped aside when he arrived

He gave you life, and you took mine

All a game, wish it'd been harder

Pawns and queens, should've been smarter

Thought I'd saved you, Montague slaughter

Now I see, I was your martyr

I'm holding out waiting for you

Breathing is all I can do

What you did to me is what you'll do to him

You'll never believe

When I first saw you there

You gave me a long stare

Then you sat beside me

Now you walk behind me

Another world, I will be waiting

Fuck the pain, commiserating

Do it all again for your love

In the ring, put back on your gloves
