When you'd yell, I would stay silent You never noticed I was quiet I was taught that speaking up was talking back Always first to say, "I'm sorry" 'Cause I wanted you to like me And I thought that's what it took to make it last It's a lose-lose That I don't choose But you don't always choose the ones you love I shouldn't have to be the bigger person How come I have to break to keep us workin'? It's always up to me Even though it shouldn't be I'll take the blame the way you want me to 'Cause that's what I'd do for you I was half of this dynamic I was stable, you were manic Without you or with you, comes with a cost I got used to the excuses And emotional abuses We kept moving the lines we'd never cross It's a lose-lose That I don't choose But you don't always choose the ones you love I shouldn't have to be the bigger person How come I have to break to keep us workin'? It's always up to me Even though it shouldn't be I'll take the blame the way you want me to 'Cause that's what I'd do for you I always think it's over but it never really is 'Cause I can't get the closure when you're like this Can we switch? Maybe this time, you'll be the bigger person 'Cause I'm gettin' tired of bearin' all your burden It should be up to you But you won't admit the truth, oh I shouldn't have to be the bigger person How come I have to break to keep us workin'? It's always up to me Even though it shouldn't be I'll take the blame the way you want me to 'Cause that's what I'd do for you
