[Intro] G Bm Em Em D/F# [Verse 1] G When you'd yell I would stay silent Bm You never noticed I was quiet Em I was taught that speaking D/F# up was talking back G Always first to say, "I'm sorry" Bm 'Cause I wanted you to like me Em And I thought that's what D/F# it took to make it last [Pre-Chorus] C It's a lose-lose D That I don't choose C But you don't always Cm choose the ones you love
[Chorus] Em C G I shouldn't have to be the bigger person Em C How come I have to break G to keep us working? Em C It's always up to me even G B7 though it shouldn't be C I'll take the blame the Cm way you want me to 'Cause that's what I'd do for you G Bm Em D/F# [Verse 2] G I was half of this dynamic Bm I was stable, you were manic Em Without you or with you, D/F# comes with a cost G I got used to the excuses Bm And emotional abuses Em We kept moving the lines D/F# we'd never cross [Pre-Chorus] C It's a lose-lose D That I don't choose C But you don't always Cm choose the ones you love
