Verse 1
I bit my tongue till it bled
Let you win every fight in my head
Said I was fine, I lied instead
I learned how to disappear in your bed
I watched you break what I gave
Turn my love into something you’d waste
And I stayed way longer than brave
Calling pain “trying to make it okay”
Pre-Chorus
I kept forgiving things
You never even apologized for
I was fighting for us
While you were halfway out the door
Chorus
So I’ll be the bigger person
Even though it’s killing me
I’ll let you think you’re right
And I’ll take the blame you need
I’ll walk away in silence
While you sleep peacefully
I’ll be the bigger person
But it don’t mean you didn’t break me
Verse 2
You said “you’re too sensitive”
Like that excuses the damage you did
I made space for all your mistakes
While you made jokes about my pain
I learned love shouldn’t feel like war
Or begging to be enough anymore
I shouldn’t have to shrink myself small
Just so you don’t feel tall
Pre-Chorus
I stopped asking for the truth
‘Cause lies were easier for you
I lost myself trying to prove
That I was worth changing for too
Chorus
So I’ll be the bigger person
Even though it’s killing me
I’ll let you rewrite history
Like I wasn’t on my knees
I’ll heal where you left scars
You’ll forget what you did to me
I’ll be the bigger person
But it don’t mean you didn’t break me
Bridge
One day you’ll miss the way I stayed
When anyone else would’ve ran away
And I’ll be stronger, finally free
From loving someone who couldn’t love me
Final Chorus
I’ll be the bigger person
Not because you deserve grace
But I’m done letting bitterness
Live rent-free in my brain
I’m choosing peace, not silence
I’m choosing me, finally
I’ll be the bigger person
And that’s how I get past you hurting me
