Bigger Person
Breaking Chains: Embracing Self-Love in 'Bigger Person'
Lyrics
I guess there's trouble in this paradise
Acknowledging problems or challenges in what seemed like a perfect situation
I realize, nothing's what it seems
Realizing that appearances can be deceptive
Standing up just left me paralyzed
Feeling emotionally stuck after standing up for something
I'm so tired of turning the other cheek
Expressing weariness of constantly forgiving or ignoring offenses
Yes I've been running from it
Admitting to avoiding a difficult truth
Truth it hurts so much don't it
Recognizing the pain that comes with facing the truth
I cut you off cause you're bad for my health
Ending a relationship for the sake of personal well-being
Damn I wish I knew this back when
Regretting not knowing a valuable lesson earlier
Shoulda took my power back then
Wishing to reclaim personal power in the past
I had to learn to love myself
Learning the importance of self-love
I'm not gonna be
Refusing to take the high road
The bigger person not this time
Rejecting the idea of being the bigger person in this situation
I'm gonna fight if anyone crosses the line
Committing to fight against any transgressions
I know you used to think
Addressing a perception of being treated as a doormat
I was your doormat on the floor
Challenging the notion of being walked over
I think you should die to who I was before
Expressing a desire to distance from the past self
I'm not the bigger person no more
Rejecting the role of being the bigger person
I'm not the bigger person no more
Reiterating the refusal to take the higher ground
I gave you the benefit of the doubt
Giving someone the benefit of doubt despite kindness
Just because I'm kind don't mean I'm weak
Clarifying that kindness does not equate to weakness
The strongest people are the ones that cry
Highlighting the strength in expressing emotions, including crying
Cause they feel everything
Noting the healing power of feeling deeply
And they're the only ones who heal
Emphasizing the unique ability of sensitive individuals to heal
Yes I've been running from it
Reiterating the avoidance of a painful truth
Truth it hurts so much don't it
Acknowledging the painful nature of the truth
I cut you off cause you're bad for my health
Ending a connection due to its negative impact on well-being
Damn I wish I knew this back when
Expressing regret for not realizing a lesson sooner
Shoulda took my power back then
Wishing to reclaim personal power in hindsight
I had to learn to love myself
Learning the necessity of self-love through experience
I'm not gonna be
Rejecting the expectation to be the bigger person
The bigger person not this time
Choosing not to take the higher moral ground this time
I'm gonna fight if anyone crosses the line
Committing to stand up against any violations
I know you used to think
Addressing a perception of being treated unfairly
I was your doormat on the floor
Rejecting the role of a doormat
I think you should die to who I was before
Advocating for a transformation from the past self
I'm not the bigger person no more
Refusing to be the bigger person
I'm not the bigger person no more
Emphasizing the refusal to take the higher ground
I'm not gonna be
Declining the role of the bigger person once again
The bigger person not this time
Choosing not to be the bigger person in this situation
I'm gonna fight if anyone crosses the line
Committing to fight against any transgressions, emphasizing personal boundaries
I know you used to think
Addressing a perception of being taken for granted
I was your doormat on the floor
Challenging the notion of being a doormat
I think you should die to who I was before
Suggesting a need for a change from the previous self
I'm not the bigger person no more
Rejecting the role of the bigger person conclusively
