[intro]


[verse 1]
Lesson's I've learned I learned the hard way
to make an omelette somethin' has to break
to make it great, somethin' needs to change
if it's not right, then somethin' needs replaced

now I know what happens when you take too much away

[verse 2]
oh so (oh oh oh)
When did lovin' you become not good enough?
picked you up, pretended I was tough
to build your world my hands had to hold it up

a world I made just to feel outta touch

[bridge]
You wanted me close
then pushed me away
I don't have the time for these
push and pull games

[chorus]
You take and you take
little by little until my back began to break
now I've got nothing left apart from mistakes
every piece you took I've had to replace
and you wonder why I've changed
it's because of you
I'm no longer the same

[post-chorus]
little by little you took pieces away
little by little I had them replaced
little by little you lost me along the way

[verse 3]
is this life is not what you had in mind?
bland and boring's not the time of your life
and that's fine
but
is that your excuse for wastin' mine?

[verse 4]
You didn't want just the door to open
you wanted the matt to walk all over
you're meant to improve my life
not take it over
you were meant to be a best friend
and a lover
one day a wife and a mother
but I don't remember the last time you were sober
now you're your own chauffer
Drunk driving to a place where we are over
Sorry there's no restart or a do-over

[bridge]
oh so (oh oh oh)
oh so (oh oh oh)

[chorus]
You take and you take
little by little until my back began to break
now I've got nothing left apart from mistakes
every piece you took I've had to replace
and you wonder why I've changed
it's because of you
I'm no longer the same

[post-chorus]
little by little you took pieces away
little by little I had them replaced
little by little you lost me along the way

[verse 5]
There's no going back to what we once were
The man I am now isn't the same as before
crafted from all the pieces that you stole
a new heart with no love for you anymore

[outro]
I changed but you didn't change a thing
hoping this would carry you through thick and thin
counting on me to be sacrificing every piece
hoping I'd leave it be
but little by little you became another lesson
(Little by little) another piece of my history
Little by little
I found my own peace
