[Verse 1] You walked in so sure Like the room was yours Every line rehearsed Every grin a sword Jimmy saw the cracks You called that a win But he knew the board Before you touched the skin You played for the crowd You played for the thrill He let you run circles He knew where you’d spill [Pre-Chorus] You kept saying, “Checkmate” With that pretty little lie But the king you ignored Was waiting out the side You thought he was easy Thought he’d fold and bend Funny how the quiet ones Know how stories end [Chorus] You lost your own game You lost your own game Jimmy knew the truth And you burned your name You lost your own game You lost your own game Now I wonder how you feel When the mirror says the same [Verse 2] He never had to brag Never had to shout You mistook his silence For being left out He was right all along You just wouldn’t hear Now the crowd’s gone thin And the truth is near You wanted applause You wanted the room Now you’re all alone With your own perfume Funny how it sounds When the tables turn All that smoke you made Let the whole thing burn [Pre-Chorus] You kept saying, “Checkmate” With that pretty little lie But the king you ignored Was waiting out the side You thought he was easy Thought he’d fold and bend Funny how the quiet ones Know how stories end [Chorus] You lost your own game You lost your own game Jimmy knew the truth And you burned your name You lost your own game You lost your own game Now I wonder how you feel When the mirror says the same [Bridge] No big speech, no scene Just the card you drew He didn’t need revenge He just needed you To trip on your own words To choke on your pride Now the laugh comes back But it’s hollow inside [Final Chorus] You lost your own game You lost your own game Jimmy knew the truth And you burned your name You lost your own game You lost your own game Now I wonder how you feel When it falls back on you You lost your own game You lost your own game Hahaha, look around It was you all the way
