| Friday night, dressed up in your Sunday’s best,
|
| you stopped asking if I got there yet.
|
| I’ve 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 goddamn 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 changed 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 goddamn 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 goddamn, it’s a goddamn,
|
| I’m the pawn and you’re the rook and you played my like a crook.
|
| I never wanted it to end this way.
|
| I told you how you’re wrong, I kept it clean.
|
| The coffee table talks and a blank TV screen.
|
| I preached life and what it means.
|
| How I’m a terrible man.
|
| It’s ingrained in my genes and it doesn’t mean shit to me…
|
| Its a goddamn, it’s a goddamn,
|
| I’m the pawn and you’re the rook and you played my like a crook.
|
| I never wanted it to end this way. |
