Lauren Spencer Smith - Bigger Person

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 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
