[Verse 1]
I been pouring out, you been keeping score
I bring the peace, you bring the chores
I send the text, you leave me dry
One-way street with a toll that high
I hold the line when you disappear
Make room for you, you don't make room here
I need more than a pretty face
Need hands that reach, need some give and take
You take my time like it's free for grabs
Then act surprised when I pull it back
I don't want a crown, I want a chain
Something that links us, not all your gain
[Pre-Chorus]
Say what you mean
Don't hide behind smoke
If I feed the fire
You feed it back, yo
I can love hard
But I can't do both
If it's me and you
Then show me you know
[Chorus]
Give me some back
Give me some back (give me some back)
I can't keep leaning
Into a crack
Give me some back
Give me some back (give me some back)
Love ain't a table
If one side's packed
I need your hands
Where my hands at
Give me some back
Give me some back
[Verse 2]
You want the ride, don't pay the fare
Want the smoke, but you never there
Want the praise, want the loyal stay
But you ghost me when the bills come due to pay
I learned the game in a harder way
Some folks talk big, then fade away
I'm not bitter, I'm just awake
I see the gap when the promise breaks
If you need me, say it straight
Don't make me guess through the static haze
I can meet you halfway down
But you gotta meet me when I reach out now
[Pre-Chorus]
Say what you mean
Don't hide behind smoke
If I feed the fire
You feed it back, yo
I can love hard
But I can't do both
If it's me and you
Then show me you know
[Chorus]
Give me some back
Give me some back (give me some back)
I can't keep leaning
Into a crack
Give me some back
Give me some back (give me some back)
Love ain't a table
If one side's packed
I need your hands
Where my hands at
Give me some back
Give me some back
[Bridge]
I don't need perfect
I need present
A little effort
A real confession
If I show up
Then show up too
What's the point of us
If it's all on you?
Say my name back
Mean it when you do
Reciprocity
That word looks good on you
[Chorus]
Give me some back
Give me some back (give me some back)
I can't keep leaning
Into a crack
Give me some back
Give me some back (give me some back)
Love ain't a table
If one side's packed
I need your hands
Where my hands at
Give me some back
Give me some back
