want you back

Silence

you and me

what's a girl gonna do?

bejeweled

the last time

[Verse 1]
I keep pouring
Into a cup with a fracture
Every refill
Just leaks out faster
You say “stay patient”
Like patience compounds
But the interest drops
Every time you come around

[Pre-Chorus]
Used to bloom from nothing
Now it costs me everything
Every step toward you
Feels less like anything

[Chorus]
Diminishing marginal concern
I give more, I get less in return
Love used to multiply
Now it just burns
I keep raising the stakes
You keep lowering the yield
Same equation
Different way to discern


[Verse 2]
I spend hours
Buying silence with effort
All this damage
For a fraction of comfort
I bleed time
You skim the surface
I pay in full
You pay in cursive

[Pre-Chorus]
What once fed me
Barely keeps me alive
I’m investing in us
But the numbers don’t lie

[Chorus]
Diminishing marginal concern
Every promise thinner than words
I give love, I give pain
I give nerve
I keep doubling down
You keep folding away
Same demand
Less reason to stay
Different way to discern

[Post-Chorus]
More heart
Less back
More truth
Less fact
More me
Less us
More cost
No trust

[Bridge]
I remember when it echoed
When my touch had weight
Now I scream into cushions
Just to negotiate
I don’t want interest
I just want return
But every extra inch
Is a lesson learned

[Break]
No reward
No rise
Just loss
Over time

[Final Chorus]
Diminishing marginal concern
I’m exhausted from what I’ve earned
Love shouldn’t feel like
A job that hurts
I gave more than I had
Till I ran out of worth
Same you
But the value reversed
Diminishing margin…concern

[Outro]
I stop giving
And suddenly
There’s nothing left to lose


That’s how I knew
That’s how I knew

how u.. 2.0
