thank me later
Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1:
You’re so welcome
That I pushed him your way
when I pushed him away
Hope you helped him
Cause you got every feeling
That he had for me
Pre:
I watched it all ricochet
From him to me then me to him to you
a game that you can only ever lose
think that he’s your property
But you’ll never see my point of view, cause

Chorus:
I’m the only reason you’re together
I’m the reason that you have it better
Really all I’m saying is
you can thank me, you can thank me later
You’re the reason that I got no closure
I’m the reason that he had you over
Really all I’m saying is
you can thank me, you can thank me later

Verse 2:
You’re so welcome
for the hoodie you’re in
The one I bought for him
So enjoy them
Go ask where he got it
Cause it’s his favorite

Pre 2:
think that he’s your property
But you’ll never see my point of view, cause

Bridge:
You walked in on all of his emotions
Now now he projects on you




So you can thank me later for the warning
When you finally see it’s true

Overall Meaning

In King's song "Thank Me Later", the lyrics describe a situation where the singer pushed their ex-lover towards their current partner. The singer acknowledges that they pushed their ex away and hopes their current partner helped them. However, the singer is also bitter about the situation because they believe they are the reason their ex and their current partner are together. In the chorus, the singer claims that the current partner should thank them for giving them a better relationship, but also blames their partner for not understanding their point of view.


The first verse shows that the singer wants recognition for their role in bringing their ex and current partner together. They believe that their ex's current partner has every feeling that their ex had for them, which implies that the new partner is a copy of the singer in the eyes of the ex. The second verse mentions the gift the singer gave to their ex that their current partner is wearing. This shows that the singer still wants to be connected to the relationship in some way and wants to be remembered as a part of it.


The bridge of the song is the most revealing in terms of the singer's perspective. It suggests that the current partner is unaware that their ex's emotions are projection and not genuine feelings. The singer warns them about this fact, hoping that they will eventually see the truth and understand what the singer had to deal with.

He may be putting his negative emotions onto you now

In hindsight, you may be glad that I warned you about his behavior


When you finally see it’s true
I hope that you eventually come to realize and understand my warning

You're so welcome
That I pushed him you way
When I push him away
Hope you helped him
Cause you got every feeling
That he had for me
I watched it all
Ricochet
From him to me
Then me to him to you
A game that you can only ever lose
Think that's he's your property
But you'll never see
My point of view
Cause I'm the only reason
You're together
Im the reason that you have it better
