Pawns & Pieces

I guess I should have tried
A little bit harder
Before I went and let my anchor down
'Cause here I am stranded
In open water
And all my luck is running out
I never wanted this darling
but sometimes the truth is what you pay
I wont play this tired game
I am not some lonely pawn
Who’ll partake in the defense of
Yet another hopless cause
I wont wait no longer
I wont wait no longer
For something thats just as good as gone
And for so long
I tried to make amends
With every little moral rule
You broke inside my level head
And on a checker board stage
You got my number
Bring your lust, we’ll talk it over
Do a dance of pawns and pieces everytime
I never wanted this darling
but sometimes the truth is what you pay
I wont play this tired game
I am not some lonely pawn
Who’ll partake in the defense of
Yet another hopless cause
I wont wait no longer
I wont wait no longer
For something thats just as good as gone
I never wanted this darling
but sometimes the truth is what you pay
I wont play this tired game
I am not some lonely pawn
Who’ll partake in the defense of
Yet another hopless cause
I wont wait no longer
I wont wait no longer
For something thats just as good as gone
