The more answers I unearthed, the less I understood.

I stepped into this game not knowing the rules, and now, they’re playing me to their beat.

A queen sacrifices for her subjects.

A president makes the hard decisions.

And a girlfriend does whatever has to be done.

I’m all three, and for my friends, sisters, and love, I’ll bring the Sallys and Sams to their knees.
