I've been abandoned
Now you don't need me anymore
I actually thought I meant something
I was so damn sure

But you've dropped me,
Now that your life isn't such a mess
How couldn't I see that I was just a pawn
In your life's game of chess?

And why would you need a pawn
When you have your queen and your knight
You said you'd stick by me
This time I actually thought that you might

But after all, a pawn is just there
To help you win the game
Maybe I thought that this time
Our feelings would be the same

And now I've been thrown
Off the board and out of the doors
Left in a jumbled pile with all the other guys
Who thought that one day they might be yours

So, you can keep playing your game
With the few pawns you have there
But soon they'll all be gone
And you'll have no one left who cares
