I would have given anything to make you stay a while
telling stupid jokes and shit to try to make you smile

but you walk in the room now and I start to get so tense
when the hell did my life stop making sense?

you wipe your hands clean and you leave behind the mess
just another pawn in your fucked up game of chess

maybe it was stupid of me to think you’d ever care
commitment issues? please. you should really grow a pair

all you ever think about is how you are so cool
but, really, almost everyone knows that you’re a tool

somehow always broke enough to never take me out
but managing to find the cash for cigarettes and stout

you wipe your hands clean and you leave behind the mess
just another pawn in your fucked up game of chess

maybe it was stupid of me to think you’d ever care
“you’re beautiful”? oh please. you should really grow a pair

endless nights spent trying to get what I did wrong
but my real mistake was dealing with your bullshit for so long

i’m sorry if it seems like I am being kind of cruel
a year of my life wasted on you, what a goddamn fool

you wipe your hands clean and you leave behind the mess
another fallen pawn in your fucked up game of chess

maybe it was stupid of me to think you’d ever care
“i’m sorry I mistreated you” yeah, right. grow a pair
