[Verse 1]
Passage is marking time
We make out, this is the way we are
Looking into each other's eyes
How can we be so apart?
And I have a sort it's feeling this way
Never thought we'd be so far off track
And I know there's never one to blame
And we've gone too far to turn back

[Chorus]
It was so easy at the start
Keeping those secrets from my heart
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
We just don't know it
And now it all seems so black and white
And there's no way to make it right
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
We just don't know it now

[Verse 2]
Look at a strip teal wall
Sinking below the grass
How can we let it go so easy
Give it our very best
We thought that it would be so different
Always promised to avoid the black
And I know there's never one to blame
And we've gone too far to turn back

[Chorus]
It was so easy at the start
Keeping those secrets from my heart
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
We just don't know it
And now it all seems so black and white
And there's no way to make it right
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
We just don't know it now

[Verse 3]
Getting tired to fall
I think we're getting closer
We touch
But I start sinking
We've been playing games too long
I think that this could be the end
Of our love

[Bridge]
It was so easy at the start
Keeping those secrets from my heart
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
And now it all seems so black and white
And there's no way to make it right
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate

[Chorus]
It was so easy at the start
Keeping those secrets from my heart
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
We just don't know it
And now it all seems so black and white
And there's no way to make it right
Ohh Ahh Ahh
It's a checkmate
We just don't know it now
