Gabbie Hanna - CHECKMATE lyrics

I'd have bought you a chessboard
For christmas yours was missing
Some pieces

But you always wanted to play

I'd have your last name engraved in
The side of the case and
Played with you all christmas day

I'd have tried my best
To master chess

'cause it'd be nice to share your time

I'd have tried my best
To master chess

'cause it'd be nice to win sometimes

I'd have learned how to move
Based on what you would do

And know to think ahead

I'd have learned that the Queen
Needs the most protecting
And to kill off a king, instead

More pieces would get lost
You'd be bored and you'd toss

It away, that's how you repay me

I'd have bought you a chess board
For christmas and told you
"this gift is

The best you'd ever gave me"
