Common Pawn Queen
It's the oldest story in the book:
I thought you were mine.
I thought you were mine but I didn't make my move
I sat on my hands and studied the chess board because I thought I was the queen
I didn't pay attention to the pawn working her way across the board
It's too late now.
I don't have any more pieces to stop her.
The worst part is, I think she deserves you more
That little common pawn Queen
I think she deserves you more than me.
Like I said, the oldest story in the book
Older than the knowledge that I wasn't necessarily born to rule.
