Chess Boy
On the first day of 7th grade
I go in my math class
There was a new guy
And he was kinda shy
I asked to be friends
Just in case he needed help
Cause I've been there for 7 years
So I knew all about
He was kinda short
With his blond hair and his blue eyes
He knew all about chess
Which made me want to try
A few weeks later after being friends
My heart started to flutter
I wish I could shut it down
I wish I could go back and tell her
That chess boy he'll get in your head
And play all his moves instead
And there's no point to leave
Cause he treats you like the Queen
And if you try to run away
He decides to change your place
And you won't say no
Cause yes is all you really know
Many long weeks spent together
We got closer and closer
Acting like each other's worlds
God I can't believe I was that girl
Before thanksgiving
We tried out for a show
We were cast as enemies
By then I should've known
That he was a liar
He was a cheat
And he was just using me to gain popularity
And I should've left at the start
But I didn't want to break his heart
Then he left me in the dust
Now there's no boy I can trust
Cause that chess boy he got in my head
And played all his moves instead
And I didn't try to leave
Cause he was my King
And I didn't run away
Cause he was always changing my place
And I didn't say no
Cause yes is all you really know
I go in my math class
There was a new guy
And he was kinda shy
I asked to be friends
Just in case he needed help
Cause I've been there for 7 years
So I knew all about
He was kinda short
With his blond hair and his blue eyes
He knew all about chess
Which made me want to try
A few weeks later after being friends
My heart started to flutter
I wish I could shut it down
I wish I could go back and tell her
That chess boy he'll get in your head
And play all his moves instead
And there's no point to leave
Cause he treats you like the Queen
And if you try to run away
He decides to change your place
And you won't say no
Cause yes is all you really know
Many long weeks spent together
We got closer and closer
Acting like each other's worlds
God I can't believe I was that girl
Before thanksgiving
We tried out for a show
We were cast as enemies
By then I should've known
That he was a liar
He was a cheat
And he was just using me to gain popularity
And I should've left at the start
But I didn't want to break his heart
Then he left me in the dust
Now there's no boy I can trust
Cause that chess boy he got in my head
And played all his moves instead
And I didn't try to leave
Cause he was my King
And I didn't run away
Cause he was always changing my place
And I didn't say no
Cause yes is all you really know
