[Verse 1]
If crying was fun, I'll be having the time of my life
If loving you was a jump, yeah, I probably died a hundred-ten times
Gave you my favourite memories
Yeah, I hate the way I let you inside
Just so you could take it for granted
Two years, now I understand it
[Chorus]
Yeah, you'll always be a gameboy
These days, I don't wanna play, boy
Say, say what you wanna say
You're never gonna change
You'll only ever be a heartbreak
[Post-Chorus]
Heartbreak (Break, break, break, break, break, break, break)
(Break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break)
You'll only ever be a heartbreak, heartbreak (Break, break, break, break, break, break, break)
(Break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, you got a little too good actin' like a good guy (Act like a good guy, good guy)
And I bought it for a minute but it isn't what you made it look like (You made it look like)
You got a cute face and that kept me entertained (Yeah)
And the way you said my name, won't lie, it felt amazing
But you took my love for granted
And it took me two years to understand it
[Chorus]
Yeah, you'll always be a gameboy
These days, I don't wanna play, boy
Say, say what you wanna say
You're never gonna change
You'll only ever be a heartbreak
Yeah, you'll always be a gameboy
All day, kept me on the chase, boy
Say, say what you wanna say
You're never gonna change
You'll only ever be a heartbreak (Heartbreak)
[Bridge]
Shame on me, should've known better (Should've known better)
I let you play me, whatever (Whatever)
Some things just ain't meant to be
Kinda like you and me, yeah, yeah
Thought you would love me forever (Forever)
I should've known you would never (Never)
Some things just ain't meant to be
Kinda like you and me (Oh)
[Chorus]
Yeah, you'll always be a gameboy
These days, I don't wanna play, boy
Say, say what you wanna say (Ooh)
You're never gonna change
You'll only ever be a heartbreak
Yeah, you'll always be a gameboy
All day, kept me on the chase, boy
Say, say what you wanna say
You're never gonna change
You'll only ever be a heartbreak
[Post-Chorus]
Heartbreak (Break, break, break, break, break, break, break)
(Break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break)
You'll only ever be a heartbreak, heartbreak (Break, break, break, break, break, break, break)
(Break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break)

I think ‘gameboy’ was the last one [to record]. ‘gameboy’ was the last one and I was like, ‘Oh, my God,’ I was actually excited that day ‘cause I felt like I had to squeeze it out. Other days it’d be at the tip of my tongue, I’m like, 'Oh, my God, this would be perfect for that line, I have so many...
