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



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
