I feel like a pawn
And you’re the queen
Towered over and ready to make me a sacrifice

Make me a joke
You just laugh it up
But I see where you’re going and all these patterns add up

(Check!)
I see your calculated moves
I’m two steps ahead
Now go ahead and dodge me left
(Check!)
I see the panic in your eyes
I figured out your plan
Now go ahead and try it one more time

I’ve been manipulated
For the last time
Don’t say those mean things anymore
'Cause they won’t work

Checkmate!
When you least expect it
Checkmate!
You think you’ve got me fooled
Checkmate!
I’ve figured out your game
And I won’t let you win anymore

You haven’t been playing fair
You knew my mind
After all you are the creator of this torment

You played the role
Of my defense
All the while using your love to obligate me

(Check!)
I see your calculated moves
I’m two steps ahead
Now go ahead and dodge me right
(Check!)
And I see the panic in your eyes
You see, I've figured out your plan
Now go ahead and try it one last time
I’ve been your scapegoat
For the last time
Don’t say those mean things anymore
I’m not your bitch- You can’t treat me this way

Checkmate!
When you least expect it
Checkmate!
You think you’ve got me fooled
Checkmate!
I’ve figured out your game
And I won’t let you win anymore

Why is your love a game?
Destroy anyone who stands in your way
Don’t take the blame
Just play the game

Why is your love a game?
Destroy anyone who stands in your way
Don’t take the blame
Just play the game

The game, the game, the game, the game....
