Hourgla** - Pawn II lyrics

You treat me like a pawn Is that what I am? I have nothing left inside And you don't give a damn You keep me in check with a look My move is stalled The game reads like an open book I've been positioned to fall Tell me how you can say that you love me When the only thing you love is control Tell me how I can stay when you hurt me When the things that you say take their toll I need to see the end of you Controlling me and haunting me I want to see what I can do Away from here, away from you I need to make my last move Get out of here and see it through I'll be free without your noose And not a pawn for you to use I'm waiting patiently For a chance to get out of this trap When the hold that you have Loosens its grip from my life I've hesitated far too long And I'm afraid to be alone I'm afraid that when I break away I'll be lost without a home Tell me how you can say that you love me When the only thing you love is control Tell me how I can play when you beat me When the moves that you make strip my soul I need to see the end of you Controlling me and haunting me I want to see what I can do Away from here, away from you I need to make my last move Get out of here and see it through I'll be free without your noose And not a pawn for you to use I'm going down that lonely road I have to get out on my own I hope the place that my path ends Is a place that I've never been In my life I've made mistakes And now I'm drowning in their wake Checkmate doesn't mean I'm through Only that I'm through with you The sting of your words still burns me The scar of emotion is too deep to heal Your move has become failed strategy As the prison that you built burns down I need to see the end of you Controlling me and haunting me I want to see what I can do Away from here, away from you I need to make my last move Get out of here and see it through I'll be free without your noose And not a pawn for you to use
