Built like this

Verse 1

I learned young how to bite my tongue

Shake a hand even when I’m done

Keep it movin’ when it’s fallin’ apart

Put a bandage on a breakin’ heart

I was raised on “don’t complain”

Work all week, pray for rain

Carry weight I never chose

Still wear it like it’s sewn

Pre-Chorus

I don’t say much, but I feel it loud

Every scar’s just another vow

Chorus

Yeah, I was built like this

Wide shoulders, heavy chest

I bend but I don’t quit

Even when I’m hurt to hell

I don’t show it, I don’t fold

I just dig in, white-knuckle hold

Yeah, the world might hit me hard

But I was built like this from the start

Verse 2

I’ve loved girls that couldn’t stay

Watched good things slip away

Slept alone with the TV glow

Actin’ fine, but I don’t know

How to fix what I can’t say

How to outrun yesterday

I just pour it in a song

Sing it till the pain is gone

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need pity, I don’t need praise

Just a little light on darker days

Chorus

Yeah, I was built like this

Wide shoulders, heavy chest

I bend but I don’t quit

Even when I’m hurt to hell

I don’t show it, I don’t fold

I just dig in, white-knuckle hold

Yeah, the world might hit me hard

But I was built like this from the start

Bridge (big, emotional lift)

Maybe someday I’ll let it break

Lay it all down, take the weight

But tonight I’ll stand my ground

Still breathin’, still around

Final Chorus

Yeah, I was built like this

Still swingin’, still pissed

Still believin’ I ain’t done yet

I’ve lost sleep, lost my way

Lost a lot but I still stayed

If you’re wonderin’ who I am

I’m the last one left who can

Yeah, the fire never quits

I was built like this

Outro

Yeah, I was built like this
