Build It Up
[Verse 1]
Everything I ever knew came from you
Everything I wanna be, that's in me
That comes from me
Mmm
Mmm

[Verse 2]
Open up your fist and let me out
I was made to run around
And let me feel the air beneath my feet
Let me go

[Chorus]
And I know not everybody gets a new life
And I know not everybody gets to start over again
But I do know what I'm doing with my new life
I'll build it up, break it down, build it up
Build it up, break it down
Build it up, break it down

[Verse 3]
You can fly away too, that's on you
But don't tell me what I cannot do
I can tie on my shoes and put on my coat
I'm living a history, the one that I wrote
[Chorus]
And I know not everybody gets a new life
And I know not everybody gets to start over again
But I do know what I'm doing with my new life
I'll build it up, break it down, build it up
Build it up, break it down, build it up

[Bridge]
And everything I ever knew
Everything I ever knew

[Chorus]
And I know not everybody gets to start over again (Everything I ever knew)
But I do know what I'm doing with my new life (Everything I ever knew)
Build it up, break it down, build it up (Ooh, everything I ever knew came from you)
Burn it up, break it down, build it up

[Outro]
You can fly away too, that's on you
