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 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 working?
It's always up to me, even though it shouldn't be
I'll take the blame the way you'd 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 getting tired of bearing all our burdens
It could be up to you, but you won't admit the truth
I shouldn't have to be the bigger person
How come I have to break to keep us working?
It's always up to me, even though it shouldn't be
I'll take the blame the way you'd want me to
Cause that's what I'd do for you
