When you’re one breath from breaking, remember This weight won’t last forever Yeah, it’s colder than the nights we remember But pain only sharpens the colour Hold on tight when the ground feels rough Every low’s just a set-up One day we’re gonna rise above ’Cause we’re built to last, it’s forever, you and me You keep my head above the flood When the world gets rough Yeah, we’re built to last, it’s forever, you and me You keep me aiming higher When the ground gives up At the end of the night, remember the times We were living on the edge Looking down, still we never let go Still standing, just me and you Don’t you feel it in your heartbeat This is more than what they told us One day we’re gonna rise above ’Cause we’re built to last, it’s forever, you and me You keep my head above the flood When the world gets rough Yeah, we’re built to last, it’s forever, you and me You keep me aiming higher When the ground gives up Now the road looks different than we planned it Some dreams faded, some survived Every scar tells the truth we can’t abandon We were learning how to stay alive Still the answers never came easy Still the nights tried pulling us apart But every time the dark tried to beat me You were standing where the light still starts Even the weight of the impossible Gets light when we carry it together Through the fire, through the pressure Still rising, now and forever ’Cause we’re built to last, You keep me walking through the fire When it’s all too much Yeah, we’re built to last, You keep me reaching higher When I’m out of luck Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, At the end of the road, remember the truth We survived till the end It was always just me and you
