Have Mercy - Pawn Takes Rook

Friday night, dressed up in your sunday’s best
You stopped asking if I got there yet
I've thought up every way 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 goddamn 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 goddamn 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 goddamn, it's a goddamn
I'm the pawn and you're the rook and you played my 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
I preached life and what it means
How I'm a terrible man
It's ingrained in my genes and it doesn't mean shit to me

Its a goddamn, it's a goddamn
I'm the pawn and you're the rook and you played my like a crook
I never wanted it to end this way
