[Verse 1]
No job, no money, no working car,
But somehow your opinions traveled pretty far.
Your house was chaos, dishes stacked high,
Still found the nerve to criticize mine.
You had a lot to say for somebody
Who never paid a bill on time.
Sitting in the passenger seat
Giving directions to my life.
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept the lights on.
I filled the fridge.
You brought excuses
And crossed every bridge.
[Chorus]
So what exactly did you bring?
Besides lies and empty promises?
I paid for everything,
While you were out collecting consequences.
I gave you rides.
I gave you grace.
I fixed your résumé,
You threw it in my face.
You had no job, no plan, no shame,
Still somehow thought I was the one to blame.
I brought the table, house, and chairs.
Tell me, baby… what exactly did you bring upstairs?
[Verse 2]
I helped you apply, helped you get ahead,
While you were busy lying in somebody else’s bed.
I gave you support, gave you every chance,
You gave me stories that never matched.
You couldn’t keep a car running,
Couldn’t keep your word intact.
But every time I needed honesty,
You couldn’t manage that.
[Pre-Chorus]
I made the money.
I made the plans.
You made a mess
And called yourself a man.
[Chorus]
So what exactly did you bring?
Besides lies and empty promises?
I paid for everything,
While you were out collecting consequences.
I gave you rides.
I gave you grace.
I fixed your résumé,
You threw it in my face.
You had no job, no plan, no shame,
Still somehow thought I was the one to blame.
I brought the table, house, and chairs.
Tell me, baby… what exactly did you bring upstairs?
[Bridge]
You told me to clean
While your own place fell apart.
Told me how to live
While you were wrecking every part.
I was building something.
You were burning through.
And the funniest part is
You thought I needed you.
[Final Chorus]
So what exactly did you bring?
Not stability, not honesty.
I carried all the weight
While you carried audacity.
I gave you food.
I gave you time.
I gave you every chance
To get your life in line.
You had no job, no car, no clue,
But somehow had a hundred things to say I should do.
I brought the future.
You brought hot air.
So tell me, baby…
What exactly did you bring besides being there?
[Outro]
Actually, never mind.
Even “being there”
Was hit or miss.
