Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Black and white
Coffee gone cold on the side
Every move
Tiny war inside my mind
I touch the piece
Like I’m pulling out a thorn
Same mistake
I have made since I was born
[Chorus]
My life is a game of chess
I keep cornering myself
My queen is always trapped
And I can’t call for help
No knights to protect my king now
I’m staring down the board somehow
My life is a game of chess
And I’m always losing to myself
[Verse 2]
I trade hope
For a temporary win
Sacrifice
Just to end up back again
Mirror eyes
Studying the cracks I hide
I resign
Before I’ve even tried
[Chorus]
My life is a game of chess
I keep cornering myself
My queen is always trapped
And I can’t call for help
No knights to protect my king now
I’m staring down the board somehow
My life is a game of chess
And I’m always losing to myself
[Bridge]
Stalemate heart
Can’t restart
Can’t reset this
Every plan
Turns to sand in my own hands
Check in the dark
From the girl in my reflection
She leans in
Says
“Play again
Choose yourself this time” (this time)
[Chorus]
My life is a game of chess
I keep cornering myself
My queen is always trapped
But I still hold the belt
No knights to protect my king now
I’ll teach my trembling hands how
My life is a game of chess
I’ve been always losing to myself (to myself)
But maybe I can rewrite the end

Female, pop, electro, emo. Chess. A game of strategy. My life is a game of chess. My opponent is me and I’m always losing against myself. My queen is always trapped. No knights to protect my king now
