I give back what you give

Intro (spoken / filtered)
Yeah…
You get back what you give.

Verse 1 (clean vocal)
I learned my lesson looking in your eyes
Sweet on the surface, cold behind the smile
You said “forever” like it meant the truth
But every promise felt bulletproof

I gave you more than I gave myself
Ignored the cracks, ignored the help
You gave me light, then took control
Now I’m done losing pieces of my soul

Pre-Chorus (clean → build)
I don’t beg, I don’t stay
I don’t drown in what you say
Every step, every move
Comes right back to you

Chorus (scream / powerful clean)
I give back what you give
Nothing more, nothing less
Bring me fire — you’ll feel it burn
Bring me love — you’ll get my best
I don’t chase, I don’t plead
I reflect what you show me
I give back what you give
That’s the way I live

Rap Verse (Mike-style)
You played the victim, I played along
Thought I was weak, thought I was wrong
You rewrote truth just to stay clean
While I was drowning in everything

You said it’s love, I felt the cage
You flipped the blame, you staged the rage
You fed me guilt, you fed me fear
Kept me close just to keep me here

I bent too far, I lost my ground
Built you up while you tore me down
Now I see through every game
You don’t own me, you don’t get my name

Pre-Chorus (half-rap / build)
No more lies, no more scenes
No more living in-between
Every word, every hit
Comes back sharp — legit

Chorus (full power)
I give back what you give
Nothing more, nothing less
Bring me fire — you’ll feel it burn
Bring me love — you’ll get my best
I don’t chase, I don’t plead
I reflect what you show me
I give back what you give
That’s the way I live

Bridge (scream)
YOU CALLED IT LOVE — I CALLED IT WAR
YOU WANTED MORE — I CLOSED THE DOOR
I’M NOT YOUR FIX
I’M NOT YOUR FALL
I’M JUST THE TRUTH YOU CAN’T CONTROL

Breakdown (quiet / clean)
I still feel it…
But I’m not yours anymore

Final Chorus (big, emotional)
I give back what you give
Now you know who I am
Bring me darkness — I’ll walk through it
Bring me truth — I’ll take your hand
I don’t run, I don’t bleed
For the damage you did to me
I give back what you give
That’s the way I live

Outro (spoken / rap)
You look at me
And see yourself.
That’s not my fault.
