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.
