CheckMate - Reeve Carney

It started with a kiss

Alone in the abyss

We used to be strangers

We were just strangers

And every step we’d take

And every move we’d play

Your heart is in danger

In a dance with a stranger

Your scars will send your tears to say it’s over

And your heart will bend the rules to suit the soldier

When love has the power play

Checkmate!

We’re losers in the game of love, my love

We’re losers in the game of love, my love

We’ll take the future blind

You’ll trust your heart with mine

And I’ll try to take it and hope not to break it

But I’ll see it in your eyes

I’m not much for long goodbyes

Let me do us a favor

Cause sooner or later

Your scars will send your tears to say it’s over

And your heart will bend the rules to suit the soldier

When love has the power play

Checkmate!

We’re losers in the game of love, my love

We’re losers in the game of love, my love

Yeah, baby

Turn around and trust your hesitation

Cause I can only hurt you when I fall

And everyone must fall

I’d rather watch you walk away

Than to take you with me down in flames

I’ll always love you baby

Your scars will send your tears to say it’s over

And your heart will bend the rules to suit the soldier

When love has the power play

Checkmate!
