Built This House Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got a yard
It's full of wildflowers
'Cause I'm a wild child, yeah
I got my own style
Got a rooftop view that don't stop
Got my name on the deed in the mailbox
I sleep easy in the bed I made
And I dream bigger than I did before
Took a while to feel this way
Brick by brick, board by board

[Chorus]
I built this house
From the foundation to the roof
It's all me
Baby, blood, sweat and the truth
Solid ground and weather proof
I had to tear the old one down
Was living in somebody else's plans for me
Locked in and I couldn't find the key
Now it's wall to wall, all me, yeah
I built this house

[Verse 2]
No, I couldn't ever be myself
Was like tryna make a home out of a hotel
So I checked out
Left it all behind
Had to start over, but that's alright, 'cause

[Chorus]
I built this house
From the foundation to the roof It's all me
Baby, blood, sweat and the truth
Solid ground and weather proof
I had to tear the old one down
Was living in somebody else's plans for me
Locked in and I couldn't find the key
Now it's wall to wall, all me, yeah
I built this house

[Bridge]
Now I got a
Kitchen table big enough for all my friends
Peace of mind and wine in the fridge
You either take me as I am
Or you can't come in, 'cause
I built this house, yeah

[Chorus]
I built this house
From the foundation to the roof
It's all me
Baby, blood, sweat and the truth
Solid ground and weather proof
I had to Tear the old one down
Was living in somebody else's plans for me
Locked in and I couldn't find the key
Now it's wall to wall, all me, yeah
I built this house, yeah

[Outro]
I built this house
I built this house
Oh, I built this house
