do you remember how it all began this fairy tale of perfection we tried to build this fantasy on picture perfect memories but as we turned against the grain the imperfections still remain and so you turned on us and bit by bit took everything we had til there was nothing left to keep us afloat oh what a big surprise you never learnt to compromise you only ever took your time oh what a big surprise you never opened up your eyes to everything you left behind but bit by bit we ll take back all you stole so how much time will it take to salvage all that we lost cause when you fixed your eyes like a snake you didn t contemplate the cost ever make your decisions devoid of pride and without condition ever stop to think or did you just jump ship when we started sinking oh what a big surprise you never learnt to compromise you only ever took your time oh what a big surprise you never opened up your eyes to everything you left behind but bit by bit we ll take back all you stole and now you re standing here before me again oh what a big surprise you never learnt to compromise you only ever took your time oh what a big surprise you never opened up your eyes to everything you left behind but bit by bit we ll take it back bit by bit we ll take back all you stole we ll take back all you stole we ll take back all you stole but bit by bit we ll take it back bit by bit we ll take back all you stole
