Odds of an Afterthought - Checkmate! Lyrics

Sticks and stones will break my bones, your words will never hurt me

Is it hard to believe your words mean nothing to me
You're just a shadow of somebody you couldn't be
Let's get this one thing straight, you live through pride and hate
If you think this is over, you right, Checkmate!

Do you hear me?

Are you listening to anything I say (anything I say) Your words mean nothing to me

Cuz everyday, your selfish ways are fading to grey
Nothing to hold onto your slipping away, from me
It's time to face reality, you have no grip on anything you do or say
Check your worth at the door keep your eyes open
Limited in what you do I'm gonna leave you broken
Picked apart shattered heart I think your time has spoken
A hopeless ending is what you've awoken

Are you listening to anything I say (anything I say)
Your words mean nothing to me, facedown to the ground
Your hollow words you thought profound
Cuz after all this time, you've lost your grip on me

Facedown to the ground, your hollow words you thought profound
Cuz after all this time, you've lost your grip on me

I gave you everything, but you threw it away, you threw it away

Are you listening to anything I say, your words mean nothing to me
Are you listening to anything (anything I say)
Your words mean nothing to me, facedown to the ground
Your hollow words you thought profound
Cuz after all this time, you've lost your grip on me
