[Verse 1]
It's been another couple years and I'm still tryna get my act together (Act together)
Blame it on a rainy day or just admit the fact that we're weathered
Seen it all before, I'm sure I'm fine
You've seen it all before, but not this time
[Chorus]
Look what happens when you put the effort in
Look what happens when I put the effort in
I'm tired of always questioning what's happening
Look what happens when we put the effort in
Look what happens when you put the effort in
Look what happens when I put the effort in
I'm tired of always begging for bare minimum
Look what happens when we put the effort in
[Verse 2]
To this, I'm tired of you swaying
Saying what if it's your feelings rearranging
Si estás cansado, ya puedes ir (Puedes ir)
Estoy cansada de intentar sobrevivir
Would've been easy, no soy pa' ti
Nunca fui tuyo, don't say you tried to be
[Chorus]
Look what happens when you put the effort in
Look what happens when I put the effort in
I'm tired of always questioning what's happening
Look what happens when you put the effort in
Look what happens when you put the effort in
Look what happens when I put the effort in
I'm tired of always begging for bare minimum
Look what happens when we put the effort in
[Outro]
Give me security, make it exciting
That's the duality I wanna spend my life in
If it's so simple, why don't you try it?
Give me security
(When you put the effort in)
That's the duality I wanna spend my life in
It's so simple
(I'm tired of always begging for bare minimum)
(Look what happens when you put the effort in)

It’s about realising you’re asking for bare minimum, and recognising you deserve better. It was an observation that I tend to reciprocate what I receive. It was a moment of, “this is going nowhere because it’s a cycle we’re both encouraging, and neither of us even care that much.
