When you'd yell, I would stay silentYou never noticed I was quietI was taught that speaking up was talking backAlways first to say I'm sorry'Cause I wanted you to like meAnd I thought that's what it took to make it lastIt's a lose-loseThat I don't chooseBut you don't always choose the ones you loveI shouldn't have to be the bigger personHow come I have to break to keep us workin'?It's always up to meEven though it shouldn't beI will take the blame the away if you want me to'Cause that's what I do for youI was half of this dynamicI was stable, you were manicWithout you or with you comes with a costI got used to the excusesAnd emotional abusesWe kept moving the lines we'd never cross It's a lose-loseThat I don't chooseBut you don't always choose the ones you loveI shouldn't have to be the bigger personHow come I have to break to keep us workin'?It's always up to meEven though it shouldn't beI will take the blame away if you want me to'Cause that's what I do for youI always think it's overBut it never really is'Cause I can't get the closureWhen you're like thisCan we switch?Maybe this time, you'll be the bigger person'Cause I'm gettin' tired of bearin' all your burdenIt should be up to youBut you won't admit the truth, ohh-oh-ohhI shouldn't have to be the bigger person How come I have to break to keep us workin'?It's always up to meEven though it shouldn't beI'll take the blame the away if you want me to'Cause that's what I do for you
