Something like "the straw that broke the camel's back". There's got to be a break point somewhere. Like a rope can only hold so much weight and at some point, when the weight is too heavy, that rope has got to break or give out.

Something about the current situation must change, usually in a negative way for someone (or something) involved in it. In this sense, "to give" means "to fail" or "to break".

Something has to end or "give up" soon
ex. "John can't do drugs and hold a good job...something's gotta give"
He can either do one or the other...he'll lose one soon

Another example is if someone is pushing themselves to the limit at work, school, sports etc. and taking no breaks then health would be one factor to give and illness shows it's ugly face

It means that if your having a lucky streak or just a series of good things, eventually something bad will happen.

'give' in this phrase, means something has to 'compromise itself' for the survival of the whole structure.
