Lacking a spine is being cowardly and maybe behaving in a way that makes them seem weak
Being “spineless” or “lacking a spine” is an insult and it means that you aren’t strong enough to handle something
Person 1: “I’m too scared, I can’t watch that scary movie”
Person 2: “you’re spineless”

Saying someone lacks a spine is saying that they are lacking strength of character. Or that they don’t have courage. To say this about someone, is an insult.
“I can’t believe you didn’t stand up for her! You lack a spine.”
But “you lack a spine” doesn’t sound as natural. Usually people use the word “spineless” in front of an insulting word like:
“You spineless coward! I can’t believe you didn’t stand up for her!”
OTHER EXAMPLES:
“The spineless man was scared all the time.”
“Don't be spineless -- you have to stand up to people!”
“My supervisor is a spineless person. He never stands behind his decisions.”
I also believe, “backbone” works.
EX: “I didn’t have the backbone to ask her out.”
I might’ve over explained ㅋㅋ but I hope this can help!
