[ intro ]
[VERSE 1]
I gave you one last chance to let me go—you couldn’t
I gave you my heart to rest inside—you wouldn’t
I gave you my whole life to live alongside yours
You took the offer and still kept coming back for more
I gave you a final answer—walk away, be free
But even that you wouldn’t take
Unless it cost me
[CHORUS]
I gave you the past, the present, and whatever comes next
And all you left me with was the wreckage and the debt
I gave you the past, the present, and whatever comes next
And all you left me with was the wreckage
And I have no choice but to accept
You’re like the world—all taking, never giving back
You’re like the world—I always knew that, and still I gave
[VERSE 2]
I wrote the opening line and swore I’d never write the end
I said whatever shape this takes, I’ll find a way to bend
But then I looked and found you only see yourself in every mirror
And I finally understood—I was never going to reach her
So the ending wrote itself without me in the room
And I became just one more name
In a list of people you consumed
[CHORUS]
I gave you the past, the present, and whatever comes next
And all you left me with was the wreckage and the debt
I gave you the past, the present, and whatever comes next
And all you left me with was the wreckage
And I have no choice but to accept
You’re like the world—all taking, never giving back
You’re like the world—I always knew that, and still I gave
[BRIDGE]
I gave you the best years I had
All I got back was the hardest kind of sad
I kept asking what more I could sacrifice
But you just kept raising the price
All I ever wanted was to see you satisfied
Turns out loving you was the biggest mistake of my life
[OUTRO]
I know what you are
You take like the world takes
Without asking
Without noticing
Without stopping
I gave you everything
The past, the present
Whatever was left of the future…
And I have no choice
No choice
But to accept
