About this song

The clear-eyed exit from a manipulative relationship. Years of being drowned out, guilt-tripped and controlled — answered with patience: "I played it like a chess game, knew just how to move." The last laugh belongs to the one who walked away with nothing left to prove.

Lyrics

Yeah you taught me how to drown out my own voice My own choices every god damn day And when I called you on your bullshit you always had the victim card to play Yeah I was right there with my love and my care When I said I needed space You said it ain't fair I had to escape A six headed snake Your family's a nightmare Ain't funny how you think you really had me Had me under your control Ain't it funny how you think you really knew how How to slow my roll Ain't it funny I played it like a chess game Knew just how to move Ain't it funny i'm the last one laughing And I got nothing left to prove No I got nothing left to prove Nothing left nothing left Nothing left nothing left Nothing left nothing left Nothing left nothing left I'm lucky that You never in fell love And I never had to find out What you're really capable of Yeah you pray to above But real forgiveness Is doing the work and showing up But you got good at projecting Believing that you're ascending Without actually spending Any time on trail Ain't funny how you think you really had me Had me under your control Ain't it funny how you think you really knew how How to slow my roll Ain't it funny I played it like a chess game Knew just how to move Ain't it funny i'm the last one laughing And I got nothing left to prove No I got nothing left to prove Nothing left nothing left Nothing left nothing left Nothing left nothing left Nothing left nothing left Nothing left nothing left Nothing left nothing left Nothing left nothing left Nothing left nothing left Ain't funny how you think you really had me Had me under your control Ain't it funny how you think you really knew how How to slow my roll Ain't it funny I played it like a chess game Knew just how to move Ain't it funny i'm the last one laughing And I got nothing left to prove No I got nothing left to prove Ain't funny how you think you really had me Had me under your control Ain't it funny how you think you really knew how How to slow my roll Ain't it funny I played it like a chess game Knew just how to move Ain't it funny i'm the last one standing And I got nothing left to prove
