[Verse 1] Woke up every morning before the sun, Pushed through the pain, just got it done. No one saw the late nights, the tears I hid— But I kept on going, I always did. Stacked every stone with my bare hands, Held it together when no one else can. Gave it my heart, gave it my years— Now I’m left here with nothing but tears. [Chorus] I built it all, every piece, every part, Put my soul in the work, poured out my heart. I held the dream when nobody cared, Now it’s gone and I’m just standing there. They tore it down like it meant nothing, Like it wasn’t made from all my suffering. You don’t know how much it cost me— To build it all for nothing. [Verse 2] They smiled while I broke my back, Then left when the sky turned black. I begged them to see what it meant to me, But they just walked away silently. No thank you, no goodbye, Just silence where I used to try. Now the house I built with love and pain Is nothing but a broken frame. [Chorus] I built it all, every brick, every plan, Tried to prove I was more than I am. I held the weight when it got too rough, Turns out even that’s not enough. They crushed it all like it meant nothing, Like I didn’t lose myself in the running. You can’t know what that did to me— To build it all for nothing. [Bridge] There’s no glory in starting again When all you feel is bitter and spent. You say, “It’s just a lesson,” “It’s just a phase”— But I lived and died in those days. [Final Chorus – softer, broken delivery] I built it all, not for fame or gold, Just to have something real to hold. Now the wind blows through the ruins I made, Where once I dreamed and once I stayed. They left me here like it meant nothing, Like my blood and time were worth less than nothing. And I don’t know if I’ll ever believe again— ‘Cause I built it all for nothing.
