James Warren watts - Checkmate for Love

I was all alone
I heard the wind call your name
like a lonesome wolf calling for its mate

You turned my life around
then turned it upside down
like immortal gods playing chess with my fate

But I'll hold my head up high
Even clouds surrender to blue skies
Every flower gets its start from a little rain

Though I'll never be the same
I'm a little wiser from this game
No one said that love wouldn't come with pain
I was a pawn in your glove
Checkmate for love

The string of pearls I bought
couldn't tie you down
You walked around like you're some kind of queen

You made some power plays
Left other kings in a daze
You stole my (k)nights. My castle's not your scene
