Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I kept your phone on me
when your world went cold
Answering your doubts
like it was my job to hold
I poured in patience
by the spoon and by the mile
You took the whole table
and never stayed a while
I learned your silence
like a second language, babe
Then you'd come back hungry
with another thing to take
[Pre-Chorus]
And I kept refilling
what you left half-dead
Til my own hands shook
from the weight I bled
[Chorus]
You took more than you gave
more than you gave
I was all in, babe
you took more than you gave
I kept the light on
you kept taking shade
You took more than you gave
more than you gave
[Verse 2]
I wore your excuses
like they were mine to wear
I made your bad days soft
I made your hard days bear
I gave you loyalty
like bread on an empty plate
You took my best hours
then called it fate
And I don't hate you
I just know the score
I was opening doors
you were looking for more
[Pre-Chorus]
And I kept refilling
what you left half-dead
Til my own hands shook
from the weight I bled
[Chorus]
You took more than you gave
more than you gave
I was all in, babe
you took more than you gave
I kept the light on
you kept taking shade
You took more than you gave
more than you gave
[Bridge]
By the end of it
I was hollowed out
Not angry, just gone
that's the truth of it now
My heart wasn't broken
it was underfed
I was loving too hard
while you fed on that
[Final Chorus]
You took more than you gave
more than you gave
I was all in, babe
you took more than you gave
I kept the light on
you kept taking shade
You took more than you gave
more than you gave
I finally walked
with my hands unmade
You took more than you gave
more than you gave

Prompt
someone who took far more than they gave. You were pouring love, reassurance, patience and loyalty into a cup that was never being filled back up. By the end of it you weren't just emotionally tired
