When you'd yell I would stay silent
           G              G
You never noticed I was quiet
        C                Cm       
I was taught that speaking up was 
         G   G
talking back
         C            Cm
Always first to say: I'm sorry
           G            G
'Cause I wanted you to like me
         C                   Cm   
And I thought that's what it took 
           G   G
to make it last

       C      Cm
It's a lose-lose
        G      G
That I don't choose
    C                Cm           
But you don't always choose the 
       G
ones you love

 I shouldn't have to be the bigger 
person
G                           C
How come I have to break to keep us 
working?
     Cm                   G
It's always up to me even though it 
shouldn't be
     C                             
I'll take the blame the way you 
    Cm
want me to

I was stable, you were manic
C                   Cm           
Without you or with you, comes 
      G  G
with a cost
      C           Cm
I got used to the excuses
    G         G
And emotional abuses
   C               Cm             
We kept moving the lines we'd

never cross

  I always think it's over, but

it never really is
                       G           
'Cause I can't get the closure when

Can we switch
