Still Broken

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
