I don't want to feel like a ticking bomb
Waiting every day for something to go wrong
And I don't want to feel like I'm so fragile
My body's made of paper and so's my skull
And we're not built to last
We're not built to last
And where will I be, when my body betrays me
When I look in the mirror now, I'm not what I see
And we're not built to last
We're not built to last
And we're crying for everyone we know who has died
How we revere these beautiful lives
My time will come, I can almost foresee
Eventually
And we're not built to last
We're not built to last
