Lyrics

I've been down where the light don't reach
Where the silence talks and the shadows preach
Had my name run wild through a town so small
Had people cheer just to watch me fall
I've had cold nights cut like a rusted blade
Had good dreams die in a shallow grave
But every scar that tried to bury me
Just woke up something I was born to be
So let the hard times hit
Let the whole world swing
I've been through damn near everything
I was built for this I was made to stand
With a fire in my soul and blood on my hands
You can throw your stones you can light that match
But I'll walk through hell and I'll come right back
I've been burnt I've been bruised
I've been lost I've been used
But I still raise my voice when the night gets thick
Yeah damn right
I was built for this
I've had friends turn fake when the money got low
Had love run cold when the truth got told
Had promises snap like a worn-out chain
Had to learn how to dance with pain
I've stared at the ceiling with a head full of ghosts
Prayed for a reason when I needed one most
But I ain't the kind to fold and quit
I just grit my teeth and get used to it
So let the rain come down
Let the thunder roll
If I'm still breathing I ain't letting go
I was built for this I was made to stand
With a fire in my soul and blood on my hands
You can throw your stones you can light that match
But I'll walk through hell and I'll come right back
I've been burnt I've been bruised
I've been lost I've been used
But I still raise my voice when the night gets thick
Yeah damn right
I was built for this
I ain't saying I don't bleed
I ain't saying I don't break
I ain't saying there ain't nights
I wonder how much more I can take
But I've crawled out of fire
I've climbed out of dirt
I learned real fast
That pain don't mean you're hurt
So come on come on
Do your worst again
I've made peace with the storm
I ain't scared of the wind
I was built for this I was made to stand
With a fire in my soul and blood on my hands
You can throw your stones you can light that match
But I'll walk through hell and I'll come right back
I've been burnt I've been bruised
I've been lost I've been used
But I still raise my voice when the night gets thick
I won't back down
I won't call it quits
Yeah damn right
I was built for this
I've been burnt I've been bruised
I've been lost I've been used…
But I ain't done
I was built for thisI've been down where the light don't reach
Where the silence talks and the shadows preach
Had my name run wild through a town so small
Had people cheer just to watch me fall
I've had cold nights cut like a rusted blade
Had good dreams die in a shallow grave
But every scar that tried to bury me
Just woke up something I was born to be
So let the hard times hit
Let the whole world swing
I've been through damn near everything
I was built for this I was made to stand
With a fire in my soul and blood on my hands
You can throw your stones you can light that match
But I'll walk through hell and I'll come right back
I've been burnt I've been bruised
I've been lost I've been used
But I still raise my voice when the night gets thick
Yeah damn right
I was built for this
I've had friends turn fake when the money got low
Had love run cold when the truth got told
Had promises snap like a worn-out chain
Had to learn how to dance with pain
I've stared at the ceiling with a head full of ghosts
Prayed for a reason when I needed one most
But I ain't the kind to fold and quit

I won't call it quits
Yeah damn right
I was built for this
I've been burnt I've been bruised
I've been lost I've been used…
But I ain't done
I was built for this
