[Verse]
Wood splinters in the porch, cracks in the floor
Rust on the truck, that don’t run no more
Whiskey bottle hollow, echoes in the glass
Everything here ain’t built to last
[Prechorus]
Fences falling, posts leaning slow
Dreams fade quicker than a radio show
[Chorus]
Nothing built to last, not the stone, not the steel
Not the words, not the love, not the way that we feel
Nothing built to last, watch it crumble, watch it fall
Time’s a thief, and it takes it all
[Verse 2]
Moonlight bends on a shattered frame
Pictures on the mantle, faces without names
Barn door swinging, hinges about to crack
Memories leak, no turning back
[Prechorus]
The wind hums low, whispers through the trees
Everything breaks, even history
[Chorus]
Nothing built to last, not the fire, not the flame
Not the joy, not the hurt, not the weight of a name
Nothing built to last, watch it crumble, watch it fall
Time’s a thief, and it takes it all
