Better on the Inside - Just Another Piece Lyrics

This jealousy eats away at me
Compresses my lungs till I cannot breathe
It's not enough to say that you care
Cast in his light, I just don't
Sicken by the thought of you two embraced
Sickened by the thought of his lips on your face
Please tell the truth and play your cards straight
If love is a game then this is checkmate

Here I am, the card in your hand
Left face down until you need me again
Here I am, the Pawn on your board
Your knight took you, and I know you no more

Digging your claws deeper in me
Squeezing till my heart bleeds
What can I do to show you my pain
To show you the thoughts flooding my brain
I'll exhale smoke into the sky
Screaming, begging asking why
Cause love is a game that doesn't take two
Doesn't take two

Here I am, the card in your hand
Left face down until you need me again
Here I am, the Pawn on your board
Your knight took you, I know you no more

How do you expect me to sleep when I know you're more
At home every time you're between his sheets, than any night you ever spent with me
How do you expect me to dream when the only thing I can ever dream of is your face
But the man that's in your dreams is him and it's not me
Darling tell me if those lies you tell him cut your lips
And split your tongue when you tell them to him, just like you told them to me
All those years ago
Darling tell me, if I ever meant a god damn thing to you
Or if I was just another piece in this game you call your love
Or did I ever mean a god damn thing
To you... at all

Am I just another Pawn on your board
Or am I just another pretty face
I hate you, I love you
I need you, just stay here
Please stay here, stay with me
F*ck you
You lied, lied to me
You lied, lied to me
You would lie to me
You would lie to me
