Five O'Clock Shadow - Checkmate

Low whispers at night
You hide from what's buried inside
No escape, no place to run
What's the reason
If there's only one
You've tried to
Capture a glimpse of my smile
But you lied to me
So don't come around
If you want to catch me
Better leave me
Bad time
A bad place
It's the checkmate game
You wanted to play
Well you pushed me away
Tired of moving on
In the distance you gaze
I've trusted you for so long
You let me down
And it stays
You've tried to grab a glimpse
Of this perfect life
But you fooled around against everyone's advice
If you want to hold me
Better let me
Bad time
A bad place
It's the checkmate game
You wanted to play
Well you pushed me away
I'm blinded
You're blinded
Who crossed that line?
Will we find back
What we started
Will it happen to me all over again?
Who can be bothered
In the pitch dark night
Leave the curtains closed
Keep all pensive thoughts inside
No colors
No variety
All of this because
You lied to me
If you want to catch me
Better leave me
Bad time
A bad place
It's the checkmate game
You wanted to play
Well you pushed me away
