Bit By Bit Lyrics

Steady boy, you should know, you don't stand in my way.
i'll take you down;
‘cause my blade is strong, and my will is gone, and i'm ready now.
barbie doll, you should know, i'm not taking you home.
i'll break you down;
‘cause my body's cold, and my heart is stone, you could do without –
me sugar-coating every word, oh i pour a bittersweet curse.
now i'm waking up;
‘cause my body's hurting and my heart is worse since the day i met you…

you take me down bit by bit. oh, you: take me down bit by bit,
until there's nothing left but you – you take me down bit by bit.
oh, you: take me down bit by bit by bit, until there's nothing left but –

steady hands shaking so, falling over your words.
i'll make you choke;
‘cause you're breathing hot, and your aim is off, you should take a bow.
come on tiger, run your mouth, you know i figured you out.
i'll cut you down;
‘cause my anger's fierce and i'm out of fear, oh so i'm volatile.
father look, i'm petrified; nothing seems to satisfy…
i can't get enough.
all my blood is dry, i've been washed up from the tide since the day i met you…

you take me down bit by bit. oh, you: take me down bit by bit,
until there's nothing left but you – you take me down bit by bit.
oh, you: take me down bit by bit by bit, until –
the bitter ever after - let it snow forever – the colder here the better,
in melodramatic irrational panic.
i'm past it: the principle is absent, it's masochistic rapture.
for bitter ever after is all you know – it's all you know.
father look, i'm petrified, nothing seems to satisfy…
i can't get enough.
i'll never fill the void, even if i had a choice.
heavy walls crash around, and i'm caught in the smoke.
i'm owning up;
now my words so weak, i can't bear to speak...
