Lyrics

You say you're busy working late again tonight
But your Instagram shows you at the bar with bright lights
Gas costs more than my first car payment used to be
And you're telling me that everything's just fine, you see

Coffee's seven bucks, a house costs half a mil
Remember when a quarter bought a decent thrill
You're double-texting while we're supposed to be on a date
Then wonder why I'm feeling second-rate

Oh honey, spare me all your explanations
I've heard enough of your negotiations

Give me a break, give me a break
How much more of this can my poor heart take
Give me a break, give me a break
Everything's plastic, everything's fake
Give me a break

Music used to have a soul, now it's all machines
Cars were built like tanks, not these aluminum dreams
People used to call instead of hiding behind a screen
Now everybody's living life through some filtered scene

You say you love me but you've got ten dating apps
Commitment's just a word that falls between the gaps
Groceries cost a fortune, rent is through the roof
But apparently I'm crazy if I need some proof

Oh darling, save me all your complications
I'm tired of your justifications

Give me a break, give me a break
How much more of this can my poor heart take
Give me a break, give me a break
Everything's plastic, everything's fake
Give me a break

Used to be a handshake meant something real
Used to be that promises weren't just a meal deal
Used to be that love songs made you feel
Now everything's a transaction with mass appeal
So give me, give me, give me, give me

Give me a break, give me a break
How much more of this can my poor heart take
Give me a break, give me a break
Everything's plastic, everything's fake
Give me a break, give me a break
For goodness sake, Give me a break
Break, break, break, give me a break
