Checkmate Heart

[Verse 1] I found a queen, not mine to take On a chessboard of mistakes Beautiful and clever, every move precise I never knew I'd risk it all for just one night [Chorus] 'Cause we're just pawns in this game of life Not supposed to cross the lines But darling, when you make your play My defenses fall away In this dangerous dance we start You've got my checkmate heart [Verse 2] She wears a ring, a golden crown But when she looks at me, her walls come down We move in secret, diagonal and slow Knowing that this game will end in overthrow [Chorus] 'Cause we're just pawns in this game of life Not supposed to cross the lines But darling, when you make your play My defenses fall away In this dangerous dance we start You've got my checkmate heart [Bridge] The king suspects, he's closing in We're running out of moves to win But in this match of wrong and right I'd sacrifice it all tonight [Final Chorus] We're more than pawns in this game of life Breaking all the rules and lines Darling, though we can't escape The board on which our fates await In this bittersweet work of art You've got my checkmate heart [Outro] The game must end, we both must part But you'll always have my checkmate heart
