I got a yard
It's full of wildflowers
'Cause I'm a wild child, yeah
I got my own style
I got a rooftop 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
