How would you feel when the king is gotta lie down
when you finally see that this is something that couldn't work out.
You thought that you’d be ready but I knew that you always had your doubt
I just wanted to be the one to save you
the one that knew how

But this all would have an ending
that was so clear to see
cause you couldn’t wrap your head around the jealousy.

Chorus:
That’s why I’m calling checkmate (checkmate)
I'm calling checkmate on you baby ooh
I’m calling checkmate (checkmate)
you are gonna lose cause you choose to make the moves you make

Checkmate (checkmate)
I’m calling checkmate on you baby ooh
I’m calling checkmate (checkmate)
Girl you will always lose when you choose to make the moves you make.

Say how would you feel when the king is gotta lie down
Cause you put up a wall around the castle that I just can’t climb around
I can hear you on the other side of screaming
But you're too afraid to face the demons
so you let your heart just take the beating
and I’m the one who pays for it so I gotta give.

Chorus

Bridge:
And I don’t really wanna do this
girl it’s breaking my heart in two
Cause I'd give anything to keep on playing here with you
and baby we could pick these pieces up and start again another day when things are changed
but you left me with no other moves to choose

Chorus
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’m all out of options
I'm all out of options
