[Intro]
I hear the floorboards cry
And the night won’t sit still
[Verse 1]
Breaking free from the script
From the shape they drew on my skin
Every grin felt borrowed
Every yes had teeth in it
I kept my hands in my pockets
Kept my fire tucked down low
But the storm in my chest
Kept pounding for the door
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it now
I can’t hold it down
Your eyes said stay
But my mind spun out
[Chorus]
I’m not made to stay
I’m not made to stay
I was built to break
I was built to break
You thought I’d stand still
But I move like this
I was built to run
I was built to run
[Verse 2]
You held me like a promise
Then you watched me bend and blur
I was trying to be your answer
But I lost my own first words
Now the noise in my blood
Got a name and it’s mine
I’m pulling at the seams
Till the whole thing lights
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it now
I can’t hold it down
Your eyes said stay
But my mind spun out
[Chorus]
I’m not made to stay
I’m not made to stay
I was built to break
I was built to break
You thought I’d stand still
But I move like this
I was built to run
I was built to run
[Bridge]
[Lead guitar break]
If you want a ghost, go find one
If you want a cage, build one
I won’t sleep inside your future
I won’t wear your borrowed sun
Let it crack
Let it scream
Let the wild part of me breathe
[Chorus]
I’m not made to stay
I’m not made to stay
I was built to break
I was built to break
You thought I’d stand still
But I move like this
I was built to run
I was built to run
[Outro]
I was built to run
I was built to run
I was built to run
