Checkmate
I had to call all of my doctors
Tell them to change the info on file
Cause you're no longer my emergency contact
And you no longer walk the extra mile
I had to call all of my friends and
Tell them to change the RSVPs
Cause you're no longer my plus one and
We no longer share a lease
You said the door is still open
But my keys don't work anymore
I'm outside freezing and hoping
I don't want all this back and forth
Please just let me heal
Let's tidy up, no more mess
I don't want to feel
Like we keep playing chess
I am not your queen
You are not my king
It was never a fair game
Because you always win
You win
Checkmate
I had to cancel all the reservations
And find new favorite restaurants
Then I changed my entire playlist
Deleted all of our songs
I had to lie to all of your friends
And act as if we were okay
I needed words but you chose silence
Even though there was much to say
You told me to keep on trying
Eventually the door will unlock
And I kept going until I almost broke it
While you watched from inside and laughed
Please just let me heal
Let's tidy up, no more mess
I don't want to feel
Like we keep playing chess
I am not your queen
You are not my king
It was never a fair game
Because you always win
You win
