Robert Francis - Built to Last Lyrics

I woke up, everything was clearer
I met the man staring back at me in the mirror
Empty streets, nothing left but your mercy
I can take the pain, long as you aint trying to hurt me
Stranger than I ever was
I won't give up on you giving up on me
I won't break down on you breaking down on me today
All we know about the future, it goes by way too fast
They don't make em like they used to
Honey I was built to last
Border towns, little fires on the ridges
I can get us back on a road paved by your forgiveness
Open sky, it's dark and its starless
I can light you up like a neon jukebox in the darkness
I won't give up on you giving up on me
I won't break down on you breaking down on me today
All we know about the future, it goes by way too fast
They don't make em like they used to
Honey I was built to last
You'll get to heaven if you go through hell first
When you get there won't you tell me, is it better or worse?
I know that there's a good kind of hurt
Dig you a grave next to mine, baby, down in the dirt
I won't give up on you giving up on me
I won't break down on you breaking down on me today
All we know about the future, it goes by way too fast
They don't make em like they used to
Honey I was built to last

I woke up, everything was clearer
I met the man staring back at me in the mirror
Empty streets, nothing left but your mercy
I can take the pain, long as you aint trying to hurt me
Stranger than I ever was
I won't give up on you giving up on me
I won't break down on you breaking down on me today
All we know about the future, it goes by way too fast
They don't make em like they used to
Honey I was built to last
Border towns, little fires on the ridges
I can get us back on a road paved by your forgiveness
Open sky, it's dark and its starless
I can light you up like a neon jukebox in the darkness
I won't give up on you giving up on me
I won't break down on you breaking down on me today
All we know about the future, it goes by way too fast
They don't make em like they used to
Honey I was built to last
You'll get to heaven if you go through hell first
When you get there won't you tell me, is it better or worse?
I know that there's a good kind of hurt
Dig you a grave next to mine, baby, down in the dirt
I won't give up on you giving up on me
I won't break down on you breaking down on me today
All we know about the future, it goes by way too fast
They don't make em like they used to
Honey I was built to last
