Pawn |
You treat me like a pawn |
I refuse to be the king |
The more that we believe is right |
The more we fail to see |
The queen is just a con |
Your move has lost its sting |
See through the squares of both our lives |
At what we’re meant to be |
Getting through to you |
Is like spitting into the wind |
You always come back in my face |
Been telling me so long |
You play the game to win |
Your losses will be your disgrace |
I’ve been trying to play your game for years |
It’s brought me nothing but pain and tears |
And even though I can’t pretend |
I’ll be around to play again |
It shouldn’t be you versus me |
You treat me much too kind |
You treat me much too cruel |
I know your style and patient smile |
With you there are no rules |
With silent words you speak |
We search out our next move |
Your looks can kill, my thoughts you steal |
There’s nothing left to prove |
Looking straight through you |
I’ll face the wind again |
I can hear it calling my name |
I glance across the board |
There’s nothing to defend |
Distance made you lose your aim |
I’ve been trying to play your game for years |
It’s brought me nothing but pain and tears |
And even though I can’t pretend |
I’ll be around to play again |
Why should it be you versus me? |
