Chess & Checkers Lyrics by Sally Boy

Lies I Tell Myself

2021

[Chorus]
She's like chess
And I'm like checkers, yeah
I'm doin' my best (Yeah, I'm doin' my best)
Yeah, I'm doin' my bestest, yeah
And it ain't no flex
That I'm there when she down bad, reckless, yeah
And she don't need meds (She don't need meds)
She just needs helpin', yeah
She's like chess (Yeah, she's like chess)
And I'm like checkers, yeah
I'm doin' my best (Yeah, I'm doin' my bеst)
Yeah, I'm doin' my bestest, yеah
And it ain't no flex (No flex)
That I'm there when she down bad, reckless, yeah
And she don't need meds (She don't need meds)
She just needs helpin', yeah
[Verse]
Oh (Ooh-oh)
I think that I've seen this one before
That's right, there my self-esteem right at your door
Last time that we spoke, it shook my core
You need more
Leave me alone
'Cause I lead you to your vices
And why you come to me
When you goin' through a crisis? Yeah
It's like we don't speak, then I leave
Then you text, we have sex, and it's back to you want my kids
It's amazing how we play the same side, still
It's amazing how I miss you sometimes, still (My god)
[Chorus]
She's like chess
And I'm like checkers, yeah
I'm doin' my best (Yeah, I'm doin' my best)
Yeah, I'm doin' my bestest, yeah
And it ain't no flex
That I'm there when she down bad, reckless, yeah
And she don't need meds (She don't need meds)
She just needs helpin', yeah
She's like chess (Yeah, she's like chess)
And I'm like checkers, yeah
I'm doin' my best (Yeah, I'm doin' my best)
Yeah, I'm doin' my bestest, yeah
And it ain't no flex (No flex)
That I'm there when she down bad, reckless, yeah
And she don't need meds (She don't need meds)
She just needs helpin', yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Woah
(Come on, pick it up)
Woah, hey
[Bridge]
When she's off the Lexapro, she get anxiety
She don't like her friends, she don't like sobriety
Bless up on the same mistakes
Break bread and forget about me
What's new? I'ma wake up 'round noon
Try to act just like sane folks do and
Fall (Fall), in (In)
Wow, you thought I was gonna say "love"
[Chorus]
She's like chess
And I'm like checkers, yeah
I'm doin' my best (Yeah, I'm doin' my best)
Yeah, I'm doin' my bestest, yeah
And it ain't no flex
That I'm there when she down bad, reckless, yeah
And she don't need meds (She don't need meds)
She just needs helpin', yeah
She's like chess (Yeah, she's like chess)
And I'm like checkers, yeah
I'm doin' my best (Yeah, I'm doin' my best)
Yeah, I'm doin' my bestest, yeah
And it ain't no flex (No flex)
That I'm there when she down bad, reckless, yeah
And she don't need meds (She don't need meds)
She just needs helpin', yeah
[Outro]
Woah (Ooh-oh)
