[Verse 1]

I couldn't fly, couldn't move

'Cause you clipped my wings off

I couldn't run, say goodbye

'Cause you've pulled my strings up

You've been written on my skin

I'm moving for the kill

High alert, drop your guard

I will shake your bones off

[Pre-Chorus]

Know you really well, put a sparkle in my eyes

To believe you are needed in my life

In my life

[Chorus]

My heart is dripping fire

I've been standing on the edge for you, for you

I figured out the answers

I'm way ahead of you, of you, of you, ooh

Checkmate, checkmate, ooh

Checkmate, checkmate, ooh

[Verse 2]

Nock you right, off your throne

'Cause I'm finished with you

Played me wrong, but I'm strong

And I'm gonna get you

[Pre-Chorus]

Know you really well, put a sparkle in my eyes

To believe you are needed in my life, in my life

[Chorus]

My heart is dripping fire

I've been standing on the edge for you, for you

I figured out the answers

I'm way ahead of you, of you, of you, ooh

Checkmate, checkmate, ooh

Checkmate, checkmate, ooh

[Bridge]

You've been written on my skin

Now I'm moving for the kill

You've been written on my skin

I'm moving for the kill

High alert, drop your guard

I will shake your bones off

[Chorus]

My heart is dripping fire

I've been standing on the edge for you, for you

I figured out the answers

I'm way ahead of you, of you, of you, ooh

Checkmate, checkmate, ooh

Checkmate, checkmate, ooh

My heart is dripping fire

Checkmate, checkmate, ooh

Checkmate, checkmate, ooh
