you're taking turns again -
one time you're all in
and then you're out of it.

let's play chess,
make me guess
your next move -
you want to keep playing,
but only as long as you don't lose.

laying down my cards,
there's no time left to restart
we're set up to a bad ending.

one last game?
'cause maybe then you'll see
that you can't deny what used to be,
so stop the defending.
