Bigger Person
Lauren Spencer Smith Lyrics

Always first to mention I'm sorry
'Cause I wanted you to like me
And I thought that's what it took to make it remaining

I should not have to be the bigger person
How come I've to break to stay us workin'?
It's all the time up to me
Even even though it shouldn't be
I will be able to take the blame the way you want me to
'Cause that is what I do for you

I was half of this dynamic
I used to be strong, you have been manic
Without you or with you comes with a price

I got used to the excuses
And emotional abuses
We saved shifting the lines we would never cross

It's a lose-lose
That I do not make a choice
But you don't at all times make a selection the ones you love

I wouldn't have to be the bigger person
How come I've to wreck to keep us workin'?
It's all the time as much as me
Even although it shouldn't be
I will be able to take the blame the best way you wish to have me to
'Cause that's what I do for you

I at all times suppose it is over
But it by no means really is
'Cause I will be able to't get the closure
When you're like this
Can we transfer?

Maybe this time, you'll be the bigger person
'Cause I'm gettin' uninterested in bearin' your entire burden
It must be up to you
But you will not admit the reality, ohh-oh-ohh

I do not have to be the bigger person
How come I have to damage to stay us workin'?
It's at all times up to me
Even despite the fact that it should not be

I'll take the blame the best way you wish to have me to
'Cause that's what I do for you

When you'll yell, I'd keep silent
Even while you raised your voice and got offended, I'd make a choice to stay quiet and not engage in an argument.

You by no means spotted I was quiet
You failed to realize that my silence used to be an indication of my compliance and effort to stay the peace.

I was taught that speaking up was speaking back
I realized that expressing my evaluations or status up for myself was once considered disobedience, or talking back.

Always first to mention I'm sorry
I might at all times be the one to make an apology first, hoping that via doing so, you would like me and the relationship would make stronger.

'Cause I sought after you to love me
Because I desired your approval and sought after you to hold certain emotions in opposition to me.

And I thought that's what it took to make it closing
I thought that repeatedly apologizing and in quest of your validation was once important for our dating to bear.

It's a lose-lose
The situation I in finding myself in is disadvantageous for me, regardless of how I take care of it.

That I don't select
Unfortunately, I will not keep an eye on or come to a decision the cases I'm dealing with.

But you don't always make a selection the ones you love
Love does not at all times allow us to select the folk we've got emotions for, although they mistreat us.

I do not have to be the bigger person
It is unfair and unreasonable for me to repeatedly assume the position of being extra mature and understanding in this dating.

How come I've to wreck to stay us workin'?
Why am I the one who always has to sacrifice my very own well-being and compromise to maintain the capability of our dating?

It's all the time up to me
The responsibility of maintaining harmony and resolving conflicts in our dating constantly falls on my shoulders.

Even despite the fact that it should not be
Despite the fact that it should be a shared accountability between each events concerned.

I can take the blame the way in which you want me to
I'm willing to accept the blame and shoulder the load according to your desires and expectations.

'Cause that is what I do for you
Because I'm accustomed to prioritizing your wishes and satisfying your expectancies, it has grow to be my norm.

I used to be half of this dynamic
I performed a vital position in this courting, contributing my percentage to the dynamics between us.

I was stable you have been manic
While I remained emotionally balanced and composed, you often exhibited unstable and unpredictable habits.

Without you or with you comes with a cost
Both being in a courting with you or without you has its consequences and implications.

I were given used to the justifications
I changed into aware of accepting and tolerating your justifications in your movements or conduct.

And emotional abuses
Additionally, I grew conversant in enduring emotional mistreatment or manipulation from you.

We stored transferring the traces we might by no means move
We regularly driven the bounds of what we considered appropriate habits, in spite of figuring out they were barriers we must never violate.

I at all times suppose it's over
I regularly imagine that our courting has come to an finish or reached its verge of collapse.

But it by no means actually is
However, it never in reality concludes or resolves itself.

'Cause I will be able to't get the closure
Because I'm unable to obtain the closure or solution I would like.

When you might be like this
When you still behave or deal with me in the same unfavorable means.

Can we transfer?
Is it imaginable for our roles to be reversed or so that you can take on the responsibilities that experience confused me?

Maybe this time, you'll be the bigger person
Perhaps, for as soon as, you'll step up and reveal maturity and figuring out in our dating.

'Cause I'm gettin' uninterested in bearin' your entire burden
Because I am growing weary of carrying the load of your problems and responsibilities on my own.

It will have to be as much as you
The duty and choice to improve and handle our courting must fall to your shoulders.

But you will not admit the truth, oh, oh, oh
Yet, you refuse to recognize or settle for the truth of the situation, denying any faults or shortcomings.

I'll take the blame the way you need me to
Once again, I can assume guilt and endure the accusations as according to your wants and expectancies.

'Cause that is what I do for you
For you, I ceaselessly sacrifice and conform to satisfy your needs and expectancies.
