Lyrics Bigger Person - Lauren Spencer-Smith

Ooh
Ooh

When you'd yell, I would stay silent, you never noticed I was quiet
I was taught that speakin' up was talkin' 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 do for you

Ooh
Ooh

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 movin' 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 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 do for you
