What's it gonna take to see it's over?
Lying wide awake, on top the covers
I figured for a minute
But I gotta let you know
What's it gonna take to find another?
The better part of me you're looking over
Listen for a second
Before I just let you go
Well, I shoulda done better
I know you wanna run away
'Cause something this good, ain't meant to stay
But any way you cut it, I'm built to last
So not so fast
What it had to take was clear as ever
But you never let me in to show my colors
I knew it in an instant
But I never let you know
I shoulda done better
I know you wanna run away
'Cause something this good, ain't meant to stay
But any way you cut it, I'm built to last
Don't let it pass
I know we've had better days
But something this good, it don't go away
But any way you cut it, I'm built to last
So not so fast
Not so fast, ooh
The days are long, it's like I'm moaning on
Through the second act
Travelling along, the feeling's wrong
There ain't nothing gone
Baby, come back home
I know you wanna run away
I know you wanna run away
I know you wanna run away
'Cause something this good, ain't meant to stay
But any way you cut it, I'm built to last (it's built to last)
'Cause I know we've had better days
But something this good, you don't throw away
But any way you cut it, I'm built to last
So not so fast
But any way you cut it, I'm built to last
So not so fast (yeah)
Don't you worry 'bout me
But any way you cut it
But any way you cut it
But any way you cut it, I'm built to last
