about

This is a song about how I approach starting relationships, by like, not.

lyrics

Loser like a playground, hang your head a minute or
Get yourself lost in the weeds
Pawn, Queen, Horse, Rook, take a look at what it took
To pretend you had any idea

What you were doing by yourself
No you're no good at this game
You can look me in the eye and say you got it handled this time
But we both know you're gonna play the same

And it'll hurt like it never has before, like it never has before
like it never has before

Pitied broken champion could change your strategy
'cause what you're doing right now is just sapping energy
Sit and fear and break some bones with words and empathy
And tell yourself ain't it a shame that nothing works for me

But this time it feels so special, this time she feels so angel
She don't even know you're playing, you don't know just what you're saying
Burn yourself so non-commital hope it just works out
Sit there twiddling your thumbs and watch as time runs out
