(Verse 1)
First date, stroll on the boardwalk, such a charming rogue
Thought I saw a Spark of Invention, but loves the longest road
Then fate turned, natural one, a worker met its end
Caught a glimpse of your cold heart, a love that wouldn't bend
[Build]
(Chorus)
I was a Black Jack, just looking for my Queen of Hearts
You build up your walls, while I was trying to do my part
Ticket to ride on A one-way track, who was to blame
I was in it for the long haul, but you were playing [pause] Board Games
[Drop]
(Verse 2)
Influence stolen, trust overthrown, a hidden card you dealt
I flopped when I saw the river in your eyes, it was my turn on the felt
Like a spreading plague, doubt took hold, cooperation waned
My defenses crumbling, love's immunity drained
(Chorus)
I was a Black Jack, just looking for my Queen of Hearts
You build up your walls, while I was doing my part
Ticket to ride on A one-way track, who was to blame
I was in it for the long haul, but you were playing BOARD GAMES!!!!
(Bridge)
Wonders built, now fading fast, forgotten like a myth
Vibrant hues of love now pale, a lonely, empty pith
My Passion like, a rising tide, threatens to consume
Curves like Professor Plumb, with the pipe, in the dining room
(Killing Me)
(Chorus)
I was a Black Jack, just looking for my Queen of Hearts
You build up your walls, while I was doing my part
Ticket to ride on A one-way track, who was to blame
I was in it for the long haul, but you were playing BOARD GAMES!!!!
(Rap Verse)
Stacked deck of desires, hidden schemes unfold
Jealousy's a kitten, exploding with love we’ll never hold
Snake eyes on promises, empty rolls of fate
A campaign of darkness, love that seals its gate
Dominion over my feelings, a queen with an iron fist
Uno reverse psychology, made me go fish
[Instrumental]
[Angry Vocals]
[Build]
(Chorus)
I was a Black Jack, just looking for my Queen of Hearts
You build up your walls, while I was doing my part
Ticket to ride on A one-way track, who was to blame
I was in it for the long haul, but you were playing BOARD GAMES!!!!
[Drop]
[Quiet sad vocals]
(Outro)
Castles crumble, dreams in dust, a lonely, broken game
The Full House is empty, whispering your name
When The final card is dealt, checkmate in this charade
You won the these games, darling, but a heavy price is paid
