Build a Different Road

[Verse 1 ] I keep looking for the good in everyone, Keep believing every promise that they make. Pretty words, then another bridge gets burned, Same old cycle, same mistakes. Every fight brings back the memories, Every sorry just like a patch that does no good. You can say it till the whole room disappears, But words don't fix what actions never reach. [Pre-Chorus] I'm tired of being the one who stays, While everybody else walks away. You want a different life? Then change what you do. [Chorus ] You get what you build, You get what you make. You can't blame the road For every turn that you take. You can promise forever, Say you're gonna change, But I can't keep carrying What you refuse to face. I'm done with the drama, I'm done with the load— You want a different ending? Build a different road! [Verse 2 ] I've learned the hard way I can only count on me, Can't make somebody care by begging them to see. Everybody wants the reward, Nobody wants to do the work. Then they point at someone else When their whole world starts to hurt. And when the shouting starts again, I feel those old tears coming back. I can't control what others do, But I can choose to leave the wreckage where it's at. [Bridge ] No more promises. No more pretending. No more fixing what you keep breaking. If you want something different DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. [Final Chorus] You get what you build, You get what you make. You can't blame the road For every turn that you take. I'm done with the drama, I'm done with the load You want a different ending? BUILD A DIFFERENT ROAD! Outro] Don't tell me. Show me. You want a different life? Build a different road.
