[Intro]
Kick the door
Let it crack
Hear the floor
Hit back
[Verse 1]
I wore your rules like chains
Polished, neat, and tight
Kept my hands in line
Kept my teeth from the fight
But my skull's a storm
With a match in the dark
Every little "be good"
Leaves a bruise on my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it crawl
Under my skin
All this quiet pressure
Begging to begin
If I stay too long
I might break the frame
I was built to bend
Then burn my name
[Chorus]
Built to run
Built to run (built to run)
You can't hold my blood
You can't hold my blood
Built to run
Built to run (built to run)
I was never yours
I was never yours
[Verse 2]
You said "calm down now"
Like that fixed the fire
Like a locked-up jaw
Could tame a wired heart
But I hear the noise
In the backs of my eyes
A thousand small alarms
And a clean white lie
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it crawl
Under my skin
All this quiet pressure
Begging to begin
If I stay too long
I might break the frame
I was built to bend
Then burn my name
[Chorus]
Built to run
Built to run (built to run)
You can't hold my blood
You can't hold my blood
Built to run
Built to run (built to run)
I was never yours
I was never yours
[Bridge]
Let it fall apart
Let the ceiling shake
I don't need your hand
To make me wake
I can hear my mind
Like a freight train blade
Cutting through the night
And I don't behave
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Built to run
Built to run (built to run)
You can't hold my blood
You can't hold my blood
Built to run
Built to run (built to run)
I was never yours
I was never yours
Built to run
Built to run (built to run)
I'm the wreck you made
I'm the spark you made
Built to run
Built to run (built to run)
Watch me leave this cage
Watch me leave this cage
