Lyrics

Verse 1

Said I didn’t care who got invited

Said I had better things to do

Said I’d never waste a Friday night

Wondering who was there with you

Said the numbers don’t mean anything

Said I’m way too grown for that

Then I put my phone face down beside me

Waited thirty seconds

Put it back

Pre-Chorus

I can give a perfect answer

I can smile and play it cool

I can tell you comparison is pointless

I can also lie to you

Chorus

I checked

Of course I checked

Said I wouldn’t, then I did

And I hated that I cared

So I checked again

I checked

Call it research if you want

Call it curiosity

Call it anything that makes me sound

A little less like me

I said it didn’t matter

I meant it when I said it

Then I checked

Verse 2

I know who got the promotion

I know who bought the house

I know whose song went number one

Though I swear I tuned it out

I know she looked amazing

I know exactly what she wore

I know I said, “Good for her”

Then wondered why

They liked hers more

Pre-Chorus

I’m supportive, I’m evolved

I’ve done the work, I’ve read the books

I just think self-growth and jealousy

Can sometimes share a look

Chorus

I checked

Of course I checked

Said I wouldn’t, then I did

And I hated that I cared

So I checked again

I checked

Call it research if you want

Call it curiosity

Call it anything that makes me sound

A little less like me

I said it didn’t matter

I meant it when I said it

Then I checked

Bridge

Maybe I’m ambitious

Maybe I’m insecure

Maybe both can sit together

And neither needs a cure

Maybe wanting what I have

Doesn’t mean I never want more

Maybe being happy for somebody

Doesn’t mean I missed the score

And yes, I know the saying

Comparison steals your joy

Mine left the door unlocked

So I checked

Final Chorus

I checked

Yeah, obviously

Saw the likes, the dress, the headline

Saw exactly what I shouldn’t see

I checked

And I lived

No revelation, no collapse

Just me being human for a minute

Then getting over that

I still think I’m doing fine

I still like the life I picked

And if you ask me tomorrow

I’ll say I never looked
