[Verse 1]
What comes as no surprise
To a jaded mind, no less
Insight comes to soothing grace
Left to waiting days
Another chord unstrummed

[Pre-Chorus]
Our secret's safe and sound
Solid now unless it breaks in two
Faithfully unbound
None of this was ever built to last

[Chorus 1]
In the paleness of a less than life
From a corner watching old paint dry
Never once a break
Into the self again

An endeavour that will flat our fail
What maturity comes to end
Never one to face
Another beat undone

[Pre-Chorus]
Our secret's safe and sound
Solid now unless it breaks in two
Faithfully unbound
None of this was ever built to last
[Bridge]
Once again
Another instant saved today
Left a print that leads nowhere
Never built to last

[Chorus 2]
What makes it work
A part of life that makes the weak hearts grow
Take it in if you're willing to say
Willing to do, prepared to lay it down

Just know this
It was never built to last
It was never built to last
