Checkmate - All The Right Moves

My life is an uphill battle

Keeping me on my toes

It’s delicate and fragile

When it stops

Nobody knows

It takes time to get it right

Practice days and practice nights

It takes time to get it right

I’ve kept my head straight

Through the ups and downs

And the constant lying

I’m calling checkmate

Yeah you made your move

And I know you’re trying

It’s all a game

But I know for sure

That I’ll play it safe

I’m calling checkmate

My minds on autopilot

It’s keeping me awake

I close my eyes to fight it

But I can’t keep it away

It takes time to get it right

Practice days and practice nights

It takes time to get it right

I’ve kept my head straight

Through the ups and downs

And the constant lying

I’m calling checkmate

Yeah you made your move

And I know you’re trying

It’s all a game

But I know for sure

That I’ll play it safe

You thought you knew me

But I guess you didn’t so…

I’ve kept my head straight

Through the ups and downs

And the constant lying

I’m calling checkmate

Yeah you made your move

And I know you’re trying

It’s all a game

But I know for sure

That I’ll play it safe
