I built a house and I made it alone With shaky boards and walls But still standing up I promised to myself long ago I'll keep it holding strong No matter the cost Don't tell me how Don't hold my hand When shit goes wrong I'll try again "If you're gonna do it, do it right It's better to stitch up all the seams If you wanna make it through this life You better forget about your dreams Even if it's all you have (If it's all you have)" We all want to 'make it' ourselves We don't need direction... do we? We don't care how it will turn out We just need connection... don't we? Don't tell me how Don't hold my hand When shit goes wrong I'll try again "If you're gonna do it, do it right Why do you act so insecure? If you wanna make it through this life You better walk through that open door Sometimes it takes all you have (It takes all you have)" Being wise doesn't mean being old And being smart is not doing what we're told 'Cause life is all about breaking the mold If anyone corrects me with my ways I'll tell 'em to fuck off and see how it plays And carry on... and hope for better days "If you're gonna do it, do it right It's better to stitch up all the seams And if you wanna make it through this life You better forget about your dreams" Nah, make sure that you do it how you like Spilling your love out from the seams 'Cause if you wanna make it through this life You better keep chasing down your dreams Sometimes it takes all you have All you have
