Cassadee Pope - Built This House

I got a yard
It's full of wildflowers
'Cause I'm a wild child
Yeah, I got my own style
I got a roof top 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

I built this house
From the foundation to the roof
It's all me
Baby, blood, sweat, and the truth
Solid ground and weatherproof
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

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

I built this house
From the foundation to the roof
It's all me
Baby, blood, sweat, and the truth
Solid ground and weatherproof
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
I built this house

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

I built this house
From the foundation to the roof
It's all me
Baby, blood, sweat, and the truth
Solid ground and weatherproof
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
I built this house
I built this house
Oh, I built this house
