Pawn

Pawn

Verse 1:
You lived close to me
We were such good friends
We played cops and robbers together
When we were young
We would gather the kids to play hide and seek

Verse 2:
Children have such fun together
Living in a care free world
Unaware of what is coming
And how we will be broken
Thinking we are invincible
Not knowing we are but pawns someone else’s game

Chorus:
I looked down
I fired the gun
Until I saw you drop
Then I took another shot
To make sure you were gone

Verse 3:
Life changed and you changed and I changed
You returned to my life
You wanted to take everything you could
You thought you needed and I would get some more
So what’s the harm
My life was destroyed by cutbacks and layoffs
What seemed so grand was crashing down before me

Chorus:
I looked down
I fired the gun
Until I saw you drop
Then I took another shot
To make sure you were gone

Verse 4:
I was left with little to my name
You tried to take what remained

What happened to that carefree boy (that I was)
What happened to that life of joy
And all the wonders the world bestowed upon us
Well he’s gone and now you’re gone too
