Built to Last Lyrics by Maps

Vicissitude

2013

[Verse 1]
You can't blame the people
You can't blame their reasons
I see it's gone too far now
And you for what you are now
So come on

You can't blame the people
'How would they know?'
You can't blame the money
'When it's for show'
You can't blame the fathers
'So let them go'
You can't forgive yourself
For what you're yet to know

I watch what you do now
'You do it well'
Your hard times are through now
'Man, I can tell'
And those years we lost now
'You never learned'
The fuse may be longer
But it still burns

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah ok
When all's said and done
I did some wrong
But it ain't hard to regret
But it's hard to forgive
And so hard to forget
So come on

[Chorus]
You should know to never kick a man who's down
It's so unexpected if they come around
You may think it's buried far behind in your past
Just remember some of us were built to last
Some of them go quietly without a sound
It's so upsetting if they stick around
You may think it's buried far behind in your past
Just remember some of us were built to last

[Verse 2]
You don't have to worry
'It's all in hand'
You don't have to feel it
'To understand'
You don't have to taste it
'Just let it flow'
You can't forgive yourself for what you're yet to know

[Pre-Chorus]
Well ok
When all's said and done
I did some wrong
But January through December
It's hard to regret
The things I'll never remember
So come on

[Chorus]
You should know to never kick a man who's down
It's so unexpected if they come around
You may think it's buried far behind in your past
Just remember some of us were built to last
Some of them go quietly without a sound
It's so upsetting if they stick around
You may think it's buried far behind in your past
Just remember some of us were built to last
