Built to Last

[Verse 1]

You can't blame the people

You can't blame their reasons

I see it's gone too far now

And you for what you are now

So come on

You can't blame the people

'How would they know?'

You can't blame the money

'When it's for show'

You can't blame the fathers

'So let them go'

You can't forgive yourself

For what you're yet to know

I watch what you do now

'You do it well'

Your hard times are through now

'Man, I can tell'

And those years we lost now

'You never learned'

The fuse may be longer

But it still burns

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah ok

When all's said and done

I did some wrong

But it ain't hard to regret

But it's hard to forgive

And so hard to forget

So come on

[Chorus]

You should know to never kick a man who's down

It's so unexpected if they come around

You may think it's buried far behind in your past

Just remember some of us were built to last

Some of them go quietly without a sound

It's so upsetting if they stick around

You may think it's buried far behind in your past

Just remember some of us were built to last

[Verse 2]

You don't have to worry

'It's all in hand'

You don't have to feel it

'To understand'

You don't have to taste it

'Just let it flow'

You can't forgive yourself for what you're yet to know

[Pre-Chorus]

Well ok

When all's said and done

I did some wrong

But January through December

It's hard to regret

The things I'll never remember

So come on

[Chorus]

You should know to never kick a man who's down

It's so unexpected if they come around

You may think it's buried far behind in your past

Just remember some of us were built to last

Some of them go quietly without a sound

It's so upsetting if they stick around

You may think it's buried far behind in your past

Just remember some of us were built to last
