[Verse 1]

You think you're funny, right?

Callin' me drunk when it's too late at night

Telling me truths that you know all are lies

Yeah, you think you're funny, right? (What?)

You think you're super sly

Flirtin' with them, but telling 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 winning, but checkmate

Yeah, you may think you're winning, but checkmate


[Verse 2]

Now this is getting fun

I saw you kissing someone else's tongue

You said that I'm the only one you love

Baby, this is getting fun

I'll let you think you won

Date in the park, I'll play it super dumb

Holding your hand, but in 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 winning, but checkmate

Yeah, you may think you're winning, but check—


[Bridge]

And I'ma get you gone

Can't play me like your pawn

Set fire to your lawn

Just like you did to my heart

And I'ma wreck your car (And I'ma wreck your car)

And max your credit cards (And max your credit cards)

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

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 winning this heartbreak

But you aren't gonna win it, 'cause checkmate
