[Intro]
Yeah...
You want the truth?
Then don't run from it when it looks back at you.
'Cause it takes two...
[Verse 1]
I ain't innocent, I never said I was,
I got blood on my hands from the damage I've done.
I said things out of anger, I let my pride talk,
Built walls so damn high we forgot how to knock.
But don't put that whole damn weight on me,
Like you were perfect and I was the disease.
You threw your shots, I threw mine back,
Two broken hearts turned love into combat.
You call it gaslight, I call it losing control,
You call yourself the victim every time truth gets close.
You point at my demons like yours don't exist,
While I'm standing in the mirror with my own clenched fist.
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't hide forever,
Darkness always cracks.
You can bury the truth,
But you can't bury facts.
And anxiety keeps screaming,
"Run before they leave..."
But sometimes the hardest person to face
Is the one staring back at me.
[Chorus]
IT TAKES TWO!
To tear a damn heart apart!
IT TAKES TWO!
To turn love into scars!
Two people make mistakes,
Two people lose their cool,
Two people gotta own that shit...
IT TAKES TWO!
Don't put your sins on me
Just to make yourself feel clean.
I know what the hell I did,
Now have the courage to admit what you did to me.
If we're gonna love,
Then love ain't supposed to be a war.
Don't keep score.
Don't slam doors.
Don't make me the villain
so you don't have to face yours.
[Verse 2]
Love had us blind, had us deaf to the signs,
Making excuses for the damage every night.
"I did it 'cause you did it," that's a dangerous game,
Two people throwing gasoline and blaming the flame.
You can't scream "I'm hurting!"
Every time I speak truth.
You can't weaponize your pain
to escape what you do.
I got regrets that'll haunt me when the room gets quiet,
But I won't blame you for every demon starting a riot.
I know my flaws.
I know my past.
I know some of my mistakes left scars that last.
But accountability ain't a one-way street,
And love ain't real when only one gets beat.
[Rap Break]
I carried your blame like it belonged on my back,
Took every accusation, every verbal attack.
Told myself, "Maybe I really am the problem,"
While you kept rewriting every chapter we'd forgotten.
Nah.
I'm done apologizing for things I didn't do,
Done drowning in guilt just to keep peace with you.
I'll own every mistake, every tear, every bruise,
But I'm not gonna destroy myself
just to protect the truth you refuse.
See, demons don't always come wearing horns,
Sometimes they sound like the voice
that says you're never wrong.
Sometimes anxiety lies,
Sometimes pride disguises fear,
Sometimes the person you blame
isn't the reason you're here.
[Chorus]
IT TAKES TWO!
To tear a damn heart apart!
IT TAKES TWO!
To turn love into scars!
Two people make mistakes,
Two people lose their cool,
Two people gotta own that shit...
IT TAKES TWO!
Don't put your sins on me
Just to make yourself feel clean.
I know what the hell I did,
Now have the courage to admit what you did to me.
If we're gonna love,
LOVE HARD!
If we're gonna stay,
STAY REAL!
If we're gonna heal,
DROP THE PRIDE!
Tell me what you feel!
No games.
No masks.
No lies.
No hiding behind the past.
[Bridge]
'Cause tomorrow ain't promised...
And one day the last goodbye
won't be something you can take back.
So appreciate the person beside you
while they're still beside you.
Hold them when they're hurting.
Listen when they're screaming.
Don't wait until they're gone
to finally understand what they meant.
[Final Chorus]
IT TAKES TWO!
Two hearts, two souls, two sides!
Two people gotta swallow that pride!
IT TAKES TWO!
To build it back from the ruins!
No more "it's all your fault,"
No more running from the truth!
I got my demons.
You got yours too.
I made my mistakes.
So did you.
And if love means anything,
then tell me what's real...
Not what protects your ego,
tell me what you feel.
'Cause I ain't asking for perfect.
I'm asking for REAL.
I'm asking for HONEST.
I'm asking for LOVE.
And if we're gonna do this...
Don't give me half your heart.
GIVE ME ALL OF IT.
[Outro]
Two people.
Two stories.
Two sides of the truth.
Nobody's innocent.
Nobody's completely guilty.
But when you love somebody...
You don't destroy them
just to prove you were right.
IT TAKES TWO.
