Give It A Rest

Intro

Uh, hey-hey, ayy (ooh)

Mm-mmm, mm-mmm, mm-mmm

Verse

You pop up at eight with another staged smile

A filter for every mood, a caption for every mile

Graphic tees, coffee cups, perfect angles, perfect pose

Likes climbing like ladders while nobody knows

You tag every city like it’s part of a map

Throw shade with a wink, then cue the clapback

Your stories run like a parade — swipe, swipe, replay

I mute the noise but you still find a way

Pre-chorus

I tell myself chill, scroll away, breathe

But there you are, every time I need to leave (I need to leave)

All dressed-up drama in stereo, loud and clear

A neon-free production, on my screen, in my ear (in my ear)

Chorus

Too much, too bright, too loud, give it a rest (give it a rest)

All shine, no shadow, you’re stealing the best of the best (ooh)

Show me one truth, one real little confession (confession)

All this rehearsal but where’s the lesson? (where’s the lesson?)

Too much, too bright, too loud, give it a rest

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, give it a rest

Verse

You sell a vibe like it’s a weekend pass

Cheap thrills in the captions, sparkling glass

You wear your mood like a brand-new tee

I used to care, now I just disagree

The DMs come like fireworks, loud and quick

Promises on loop, captions that flick

I’m not mad, just tired of the same old show

Swipe up, tap off, it’s time that you know

Pre-chorus

You want applause, you want an encore (encore)

But I’m walking out the door 'cause I’ve seen it before (seen it before)

All your highlights, heavy like a crown

I’m sitting in the crowd but I won’t stick around (nah)

Chorus

Too much, too bright, too loud, give it a rest (give it a rest)

All shine, no shadow, you’re stealing the best of the best (ooh)

Show me one truth, one real little confession (confession)

All this rehearsal but where’s the lesson? (where’s the lesson?)

Too much, too bright, too loud, give it a rest

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, give it a rest

Bridge

Hey — take a breath, take a beat, take it slow (take it slow)

Put the camera down, let the quiet grow (let it grow)

You don’t need a stage for every sigh, every smile (no)

Sometimes less is golden for a little while

Ta-ta-touch the screen if you must, if you must (if you must)

But know when to fade out, know when to trust (trust)

Chorus

Too much, too bright, too loud, give it a rest (give it a rest)

All shine, no shadow, you’re stealing the best of the best (ooh)

Show me one truth, one real little confession (confession)

All this rehearsal but where’s the lesson? (where’s the lesson?)

Too much, too bright, too loud, give it a rest

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, give it a rest

Outro

Uh, hey-hey, ayy (ooh)

Fade out, fade out (fade out)

Give it a rest, give it a rest, yeah (give it a rest)
