Built From Who I Am

[Intro] [Verse 1] It’s funny in life how people come They take what they need, then turn away They look you d**d in the eyes Like they don’t see the price you pay Everybody runnin’ some kinda race Feet bleedin’ on borrowed ground Steppin’ on whatever don’t f***t back Just to say they made it out [Pre-Chorus] They say keep your head down, don’t ask why Just play the hand you’re dealt But every lie I ever lived Was something I felt [Chorus] Some of life’s most beautiful things Hide in a storm at night Rain fallin’ on a tired soul Under broken streetlight skies Lightning talkin’ to my bones Thunder callin’ my name That storm didn’t come to d***n me It came to wake me up in the rain [Verse 2] Everyone so busy livin’ life But it ain’t even theirs to live Chasin’ somebody else’s dream Forgettin’ what their heart gives Wearin’ masks that don’t fit right Smilin’ just to survive I been dyin’ a little every day Tryin’ to live somebody else’s life [Pre-Chorus 2] Mirror talks when the room gets quiet Ain’t nowhere left to hide You can run from the truth all day But it sleeps by your side [Chorus] Some of life’s most beautiful things Hide in a storm at night Rain fallin’ on a tired soul Under broken streetlight skies Lightning talkin’ to my bones Thunder callin’ my name That storm didn’t come to d***n me It came to wake me up in the rain [Bridge] You gotta love what you already got When the world says you ain’t enough Build from who you are right now Not who they told you to become I tried bein’ what I thought I should be Lost myself along the way But the truth don’t whisper politely It screams when you don’t obey [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] Some of life’s most beautiful things Only show when the sky breaks down When the rain soaks through your pride And you’re standin’ on sacred ground Yeah the storm didn’t come to end me It showed me who I am I ain’t built from fear or envy I’m built from who I am [Outro]
