Checkmate

This must be a joke
You must really think you’re clever
I’m caught in a contradiction
(Checkmate)
I must admit you’re better
Except you’re not

Just a friendly reminder
you’d always rather drown when you’re on fire
That never made anyone a liar
No one at all

This ain’t a game to me
This is a conversation
When you think you can get me
(Checkmate)
Is the only time you listen
You don’t get anything

Just a friendly reminder
you’d always rather drown when you’re on fire
That never made anyone a liar
No one at all

Just a little hint
of context to go with all your assumptions
That never gave anyone a trump card
no one at all
