[Verse 1]
Pa**age is marking time
We make out, this is the way we are
Looking into each other's eyes
How can we be so apart?
And I have a sort it's feeling this way
Never thought we'd be so far off track
And I know there's never one to blame
And we've gone too far to turn back
[Chorus]
It was so easy at the start
Keeping those secrets from my heart
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
We just don't know it
And now it all seems so black and white
And there's no way to make it right
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
We just don't know it now
[Verse 2]
Look at a strip teal wall
Sinking below the gra**
How can we let it go so easy
Give it our very best
We thought that it would be so different
Always promised to avoid the black
And I know there's never one to blame
And we've gone too far to turn back
[Chorus]
It was so easy at the start
Keeping those secrets from my heart
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
We just don't know it
And now it all seems so black and white
And there's no way to make it right
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
We just don't know it now
[Verse 3]
Getting tired to fall
I think we're getting closer
We touch
But I start sinking
We've been playing games too long
I think that this could be the end
Of our love
[Bridge]
It was so easy at the start
Keeping those secrets from my heart
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
And now it all seems so black and white
And there's no way to make it right
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
[Chorus]
It was so easy at the start
Keeping those secrets from my heart
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
We just don't know it
And now it all seems so black and white
And there's no way to make it right
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
We just don't know it now
