Conan Gray – Checkmate lyrics
[Verse 1]
You think you're funny right?
Callin' me drunk when it's too late at night
Tellin' me truth that you know all are lies
Yeah, you think you're funny right? (what?)
You think you're super sly
Flirtin' with them but tellin' me you're mine
Buildin' me up, but buttercup you lied
Now I'm gonna ruin your life

[Chorus]
'Cause I've gotten tired of the games that you play
When you tell me you love me then you throw me away
So cry me a river 'til you drown in the lake
'Cause you may think you're winnin' but checkmate
Yeah, you may think you're winnin' but checkmate

[Verse 2]
Now this is gettin' fun
I saw you kissing someone else's tongue
You said that I'm the only one you love
Baby this is gettin' fun
I'll let you think you won
Date in the park, but play it super dumb
Holding your hand but then the other one
I'm holding a loaded gun
Yeah, baby you should really run

[Chorus]
'Cause I've gotten tired of the games that you play
When you tell me you love me then you throw me away
So cry me a river 'til you drown in the lake
'Cause you may think you're winnin' but checkmate
Yeah, you may think you're winnin' but checkmate

[Bridge]
And I'mma get you gone
Can't play me like your pawn
Set fire to your lawn
Just like you did to my heart
And I'mma wreck your car (and I'mma wreck your car)
And max your credit card (and max your credit card)
A lover on the large (a lover on the large)
You're gonna wish you never harmed me

[Chorus]
'Cause I've gotten tired of the games that you play
When you tell me you love me then you throw me away
So cry me a river 'til you drown in the lake
'Cause you may think you're winning but checkmate

[Outro]
And you did some damage so I'm making you pay
And no one's ever gonna love you anyways
'Cause you're just a narcissist who's totally fake
Yeah, you may think you're winnin' this heartbreak
But you aren't gonna win it 'cause checkmate
