Checkmate

the list is a thing that broke my heart it tore me and my friends apart ranking us was so demeaning you didn’t even have a reason you didn’t even think about it the classroom i just walked right out of it here i was giving you a second chance now we’re locked in a death dance the tangos not one that i like so listen to the words i write: i would never say it to your face but this is just a big disgrace your such a good person then you watch them make a list again so i’ll say it once and i’ll say it loud you sit there crying i sit here proud proud it didn’t get to my head or else i might as well be dead cross me once that’s okay make a list i feel betrayed lied to me about my place i want to slap your satisfied face people want me to forgive and forget but i don’t want to do that yet forgiving means you get to win and this goes on and on again you think that you can relate so read my lips, checkmate.
