Have Mercy - Pawn Takes Rook lyrics

rate me

Friday night,

Dressed up in your Sunday’s best

You stopped asking

If I got there yet

I've thought up everyway

To tell you “no”

And why you shouldn't go alone

And why I shouldn't go alone

You were so much better than me

Polite and right

And some straight teeth

Find someone that will make you love yourself

As much as I loved you

It's a god damn shame

That you ever changed your name

I'm the pawn

And you're the rook

And you played me like a crook

I never wanted it to end this way

You wanted some change

And you changed what you want

Tall, dark, and handsome

I am being blunt

Bound and gagged

And hands were cuffed,

Now you only call

When things get rough

You were so much better than me

Polite and right

And some straight teeth

Find someone that will make you love yourself

As much as I loved you

It's a god damn shame

That you ever changed your name

I'm the pawn

And you're the rook

And you played me like a crook

I never wanted it to end this way

It’s a god damn

It’s a god damn

I'm the pawn

And you're the rook

And you played me like a crook

I never wanted it to end this way

I told you how you're wrong,

I kept it clean

The coffee table talks

And a blank TV screen

And I preached life

And what it means

How I'm a terrible man

It's engrained in my genes

And it doesn't mean shit to me

It’s a god damn

It’s a god damn

I'm the pawn

And you're the rook

And you played me like a crook

I never wanted it to end this way

It's a god damn shame

I'm the pawn

And you're the rook

And you played me like a crook

I never wanted it to end this way

Friday night,

Dressed up in your Sunday’s best

You stopped asking

If I got there yet
