Lyrics:
You think you’re funny right?
Calling 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
You think you’re super sly
Flirtin with them but telling me you’re mine
Building me up
But buttercup you lied
Now I’m gonna ruin your life
‘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 till you drown in the lake
‘Cause you may think you’re winning but checkmate
Yeah you may think you’re winning but checkmate
Now this is getting fun
I saw you kissin’ 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
‘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 till you drown in the lake
‘Cause you may think you’re winning but checkmate
Yeah you may think you’re winning but check
And I’m gonna 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 max your credit cards
A lover on the large
You’re gonna wish you never harmed me
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 till 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

Denial: The King

Bargaining: Lookalike
Depression: Comfort Crowd
Acceptance: Grow
What about crush culture?
I’m sorry but when I read this I immediately thought of 11 minutes by Yungblud and Halsey
Ally ayyy
_ Lee ayyyyy
Spicy Memes crush culture would be before they got together
“What do you have?”
Conan:a GuN
“nO”

"omg why does he have a gun"
*conan starts to run away*
AHAAAAAAHAHAHHAA
Me: **has been single my whole life, and never experienced heartbreak**
Conan: **creates this masterpiece of a song**
Me: My ex is gonna die today
DO YOU LIKE ONE DIRECTION TOO
sorry fangirling is over now
Heyyyy
wait i thought i was the gay cousin?
@@ihate_thesmiths_ their bio says "So...i like 1D....that is my only personality trait" so ig LOL
we're both gay lol
*this sounds like the intro to a coming of age movie and you cannot deny it*
intro would be Generation Why, and this is the badass main theme
@@nonignorantsatis yes!!!!!!
is the official music video the trailer then?
Honestly a lot of Conan's music makes me feel like the protagonist in a coming of age movie💜
@@elianna_ecc :2
went from "haven't had my first kiss" to "lets burn down a house"
sillydoggo 💀
Don't forget the loaded guns
sillydoggo lowkey loving it tho
he can be both at the same time cause he's the king
Love Of Jupter it’s not from any song he just mentions it in his crush culture genius interview and used to say it a lot lol
CONAN DID YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST KISS?! I JUST WANNA TALK
YES I WANT TO KNOW
probably not , i’m pretty sure this song is about the same person as the king is and conan said he never kissed them
Fr
@@katespy6 WeLl ShOOt thanks for the info
@@rainbowp.148 oh shiet i dont know😂 i saw it on a meme😂
I love how 'you may think you're winning, but checkmate' is the calmest sung part of the song. It just adds to the passive-aggressiveness
ikr!
i do not remember writing this but i stand by it (@myself)
so true [we have the same pfp!!!!!!!!!!]

Conan: "writes the best heart break song ever"
Also Conan: *has never had his first kiss yet*
@Lera Lit that is one of the biggest moods
Yeah uhm i dont know about the second part
@@nabilabenabbou1842 He actually hasn't
@@distorted3271 maybe things changed?
@@saturnsounds8063 He literally tweeted 10 days ago about how he hasn't had his first kiss yet. He's always been tweeting about it, and will most probably tweet about him having his first kiss once he has it lol.
This song has the energy of
"What do you have?"
Conan: a gUN!
"nO!"
"Let me see what you have"
"A KNIFE"
"NO"
ITS A KNIFE AHHH

Ladies and gentlemen, forget CZcams Conan and Twitter Conan.
Meet high school Conan.
You should run.
Izzy La Croix he can conquer the world
yeah baby you should really run
@@rooisnotcool3254 i like what you did there. High-five ✋
Izzy La Croix best comment
The fact that he drew, wrote, and sang this whole thing still has me shook. Conan is the DEFINITION of talent
HE DREW THIS?-
AnD animatED IT?
Omg he did-
He's a really good artist
@@misou4107 yea man he got into ucla for art
i love the passive-aggressive vibes in this
At 1:58 the way he goes from kinda quiet to sounding almost panicked when he says checkmate just adds something to it and I love it
june 24: the song’s probably gonna be about chess
june 26: the song ends up being about conan wanting to get revenge
We shouldve expected it tbh
ephemerality thank you ☺️❤️
sunflowertea who would’ve thought it would be about chess.....
We have no evidence denying that this wasn't made on flip notes on a Nintendo ds.
Jaylee STOP NO
SSKJDFKJDFFDKJ AHAHAHAH
True though
Ummmmmmmmmm please stop
Jaylee I wouldn’t be mad if it was
Conan: *is soooooo handsome and literally The King of aesthetics, has the voice of an angel, is creative, original, and writes all his own songs, AND CAN DRAW LIKE A GOD??????!!!!!!!!!!*
no one can compete with this dude.
“Yeah you think you’re funny right?”
that
That small “what” afterwards
I’m-
conan is like kinda an e-boy now.... but im kinda living for it???
Lmao same
E-BOIS, RISE
"kinda"?????????
He’s lowkey always been an e-boy, if by that you mean aesthetic/artsy
He's kinds always been like that though...i wouldn't even doubt gim being one of the first eboys
The fact that he wrote, sang, and drew this whole video is just...
Can you say *talent* kids?
Big ass talent I say
for real for real 🥵
Very big talent 👏👏👏
talent.god bless.
Nah im mute
Okay, I can't be the only one who screams the line "Your just a narcissist whos totally fake!" Can I. I truly scream that line every time I hear this song. I just love a passive-aggressiveness to this whole song in general.
well honestly the fact that this song is propably from a perspective of an actual narcissist that accuses his lover of being one add to the deepness.
@@oskardolacinski216 the song is from the perspective of a narcissist?
“Hand drawn by me” EXSUSE ME?! Who gives you the right to have such good talent?❤️❤️
he also edited all of his lyric videos!
"My favorite Conan song is definitely The Kin..."
Checkmate: think again
Annabella Marie checkmate: hold my beer
I feel so called out I-
Meeee
so impossibly mad at my nonexistent significant other who's never done this to me
(edit 2021: it happened guys)
*dates you*
"i love you."
*throws you away*
(now you can be mad at me)
I can deeply relate
MEE
Omg me
Omg conan gray like your comment
i forget conan can draw sometimes and then i remember hes good at everything
i refuse to believe that this song is just 2 minutes and 29 seconds long.
Conan went from Lorde to Avril real fast.
THIS COMMENT IS SO ACCURATE
But it's cute because he's still such a sweetie and now he's not as soft as he was and he holds it in :/
for reallllllll
lizzie Didn’t he say that this “New Conan” is who he was the entire time? I mean, if that’s true then he really isn’t “holding it in”, as you said.
@@evanacostaa he is because he said that he expresses his so called "stupid" thoughts on twitter but if you watch his old videos he's the softest, cutest, aesthetic, sweetest boy ever
the passive aggressive energy in this is just too relatable
passive????
@@BrettAllenArt i mean thinking about it,, it is quite direct haha
Philip Brooks I think it’s more just...... aggressive
@@hey_im_eliza6046 kjgfkj you're right
Like in all his songs ajdlhdd
my ex bf just started dating my best friend 3 days after i broke up with him, so this song is perfect rn
are they really a bsf then?
That sucks😕
i love how if you put on subtitles it says "yea baby you should really run.
*Bold of you to assume I haven't already learned the lyrics.*
Mickie Guava lmao. nOoBs
BIG mood
Bold of you to assume I haven't broken the replay button😂
@@Maja-ee6ji Bold of you to assume I didn't already know that
Mickie Guava right.
Only I have that feeling that Conan made this all drawings n stuff by himself?
Edit:
Oh wait he did it by himself.
KING.
WE STAN TALENT
well we do know that hes the king
YES IM SUPREME
Ana Correia Aguiar choooose meeeeee
Unpopular Opinion:This is better than Heather

I’m getting mad early 2000s vibes from this and I love it
same same i thought i was the only one
that's exactly what I thought too
me too!!! his voice in it reminds me sm of early 2000s punk pop
Sameee
dude bro sameeeeee😂
Conan:
Also conan:YOU KNOW I'M 19 AND DIDNT HAVE MY FIRST KISS YET
The fact that he draws all of this is ✨ a m a z i n g ✨
Honestly I'm living for psychopath conan, cause why tf not
Have no idea why, but this comment gives me life
we stan a lovable psychopath
Imagine an entire album of psycho Conan like damn would that be good
cute psychos like conan can have my heart any day
idle town: [conan is descending into the uwu realm]

Taltzi Conan preparing to fucking obliterate someone

beautiful poem
when conan said ‘now i’m gonna ruin your life❤️’ felt that
old Conan: lovesick boys :’)
recent Conan: my life fucKiNg SUCKS IM such a Virgin
now Conan: now I’ve goT A LOADED GUNNN *maniacal laughter *
moonriver inc I’m scared
Ikr,,, uwu to uwu eboy

sam_is_confused it’s just the natural progression i guess
Love this for conan😂
with the songs he's been writing I hope Conan never gets over this fool
Okay but THIS
Apparently, according to his instagram he wrote this in 5 mins on his bedroom floor and he drew the whole lyric video

Please no TT
tik tok already ruined a bunch of cavetown songs, they better not even think about using this sound or imma throw hands
noooOo
Why do i find it cute when the drawing moved when he said "what"
I have seriously loved Conan Gray since the beginning. I would watch all his videos including the ones where he would just talk to us. He's just so sweet and truthful. A beautiful person inside and out, I'm happy that he is evolving 💜
Conans somgs give me “my high school crush doesn’t like me back” vibes which im obsessed with
Love you conan 🥺
Actually me rn lmfao
I’m really feeling that cause uh, I gotta say, my high school crush doesn’t like me back
I wanna die lmao

The passive-agressivness is just 🔥
My favorite lyric is “cry me a river till you drown in a lake” iconic 🤩🤩

How did you know though?
I hope Tiktok stays away from this beautiful piece of art.
Eliana Perez frfr!
Eliana Perez yes but think of all the publicity conan will get! he really deserves it :( (but part of me also doesn’t want tik tok to ruin this song for me)
*_We cannot! They have.. checkmated us._*

Conan's vibe is a mood Conan's soul is a work of art.

Conan: “Yeah, I’ve never had my first kiss”
Conan Again: *Makes Song About Heartbreak*
That’s Gay Broski he’s dated people but hasn’t had his first kiss yet ^^
@@teacuups7094 actually, he hasnt even been in a relationship before AWHDJSA
@Jade Maldonado Tung he has been through heartbreak tho. he may not have dated someone before, but hes been heartbroken.
You don't need to kiss someone to be heartbroken, the hell
I mean, you can always be rejected, or had to dealt with a fake friend.
This sounds like an american high school movie montage when you’re in the field and whatnot y’know what I mean?
I understand completely
RIGHT!!
5,000 subs without video challenge OMFG I CAN IMAGINE THE JOCKS PLAYING FOOTBALL HOLY FUCK
Hey can you sing
broｔｈａ
I heard this in Foot Locker and got excited because Conan really deserves it
the way conan fluctuates from eboy to soft boy is so impressive and the reason why i love him with all my heart

BREAKING NEWS
2017 cute Conan gray was found dead in a ditch murder by a killer going by the name of "checkmate"
everytime im at a river or a lake i think of "So cry me a river till you drown in the lake" for some reason
I'm speechless at the fact that Conan writes songs, draws the lyrics videos and directs several of his original videos on his OWN. SO FREAKING TALENTED! 😍🙌
In the other hand Im holding a loaded gun so you better run
ICONIC
S A L M A literally read this as he sang it 🤣
*Producers:* so how amazing do you want this to sound?
*Conan:* Yes.
But he was the producer
“Hand drawn by me” can we just take a minute to appreciate this talented king??
OKAY BUT THIS IS ABSOLUTE TALENT HE CAN SING AND DRAW?!
"Set fire to your lawn"
"Max your credit card"
"Smash up your car"
FBI: *I hear something*
Don’t forget the “Holding a loaded gun” part
Dabs at 1k
😌 💅
Fbi: My chesthairs are tingling-
I'm getting a 2007 boyband feeling, and I'm living for it
Miran Zovko greek god, the king, and lookalike started a band in the 2000s and checkmate is the song they preformed at their school talent show right before the band broke apart because greek god couldn’t handle the kings ego
I see Twitter Conan has really taken over, I'm highkey living for this tho
just a reminder, checkmate is now 2 years old. she grew up soo fast mwa
I feel like a proud parent bc I still remember when he release this and it's grown so much 🙃😅
The king: * exists *
Checkmate: hold my gun. I'm about to ruin this man's whole career.
Showing people Conans gray music like
*checkmate*
The fact that I didn't even know this was hand-drawn by Conan LIKE LOOK AT THAT too good to be true
we all gotta remember. he drew all of his lyric videos, so he drew this one. man of many talents 😂
