built to last

(album: astronaut boy - 2023)

I think the roof is on fire
I invite you over anyways
I think the basement got spiders
I'm asking you about your day

You think you're safe and sound, but look around
Every piece of this house is crumbling down

Run down, hopeless, was it ever built to last?
Dust clouds, choking, now we're standing in the ash
I wish I saw the signs
Maybe we could've moved in time
But now we're heartbroke, homeless
It was never built to last

Home is where the heart is but my heart been beating weird
Don't know how it started but it's ending up in tears
Part of me's in love, but part of me isn't here
Honeymoon drug, I'm addicted to the, to the, to the
Way that it felt for the first time
You gave me butterflies but I let 'em go
Once it ran out, oh, I couldn't lie
I think I realized I'm losing my home

You think you're safe and sound, but look around
Every piece of this house is crumbling, crumbling down

Run down, hopeless, was it ever built to last?
Dust clouds, choking, now we're standing in the ash
I wish I saw the signs
Maybe we could've moved in time
But now we're heartbroke, homeless
It was never built to last

It was never built to last
