(Intro)

Oh,... Oh... Oh.. Pain.. 

Built on it... Built on it.. 

Oh.. Oh.. OHH!!... Built on it.. 

(Verse 1)
Built on pain, Built on pain
Every brick and stone that has.. made me.. 

Has been built on pain! 

Built on pain, Built on it..
Oh such guilt. 

Oh.. Oh... OHHH!.. Such guilt. 

To keep this pain inside! 

To keep this pain ALIIIIIIIVE...

Oh.. oh.. OHHH.. 

Built on it... Built on paiiiinnn..  
Ohh.. ohh... OHHHH 

Behind this precious face is a surprise. 

That is no delight, No delight.. no.. no.. no.. 


(Chorus)
I can't describe the feeling inside. 

Oh.. Oh.. OHHHH!
 I can't compromise.. 
Oh am I alive?
 My sunshine is dying. 

I can't delight
 I am so deprived. 

Such a great disguise.. 
Oh.. Oh... OHHHH.. 

I don't think I can survive the night...

Oh.. Oh.. OHHHHH!! 
Its been awhile that I could satisfy this longing in my SOUUUUUUUL..

Oh.. Oh.. OHHHHH! 

(Verse 2)
Such a hole.. In me. 
I can't be whole. 

At 8 years old, I knew my life..Would be hard. 

But I didn't think this life would, punch me so hard! 

Oh.. Oh.. OHHHHH!

 I am on guard, My heart is a graveyard. 
Isn't it quite absurd? Oh such PAIN! Could come to one so young. 


You took everything..From me. 

Now Im built on the pain, you caused! 

I can not pause... BECAUUUUUUSE...  I am built on it.. 

You tear me down..But I get right back up again. 


Oh.. Oh.. OHHHHH! 

Aint it a grandfather clause.. For the pain, I endure.. 

Is all because of you, But Im built from it. 

Oh.. Oh.. OHHHH! 

  (Chorus)
I can't describe the feeling inside.
Oh.. Oh.. OHHHH!
I can't compromise.. 

Oh am I alive?
My sunshine is dying.

I can't delight
I am so deprived.

Such a great disguise..
Oh.. Oh... OHHHH..

I don't think I can survive the night...

Oh.. Oh.. OHHHHH!!
Its been awhile that I could satisfy this longing in my SOUUUUUUUL..

Oh.. Oh.. OHHHHH!


(Verse 3) 
The bullies I faced.. Weather white or black..Treated me.. All the same. 
Yet, I'm to blame. Because I became this. This.. Because I became this. 

I can't proclaaaaiiiim.. The damage you caused me. 
Put me in the hall of fame,
it won't mean nothing. 

I'd still be a crushing heart. 

You can't out-smart this.. Pain. 

The pain that you caused me.
You can't tell me apart from the other wounded.
Because I am built on it.. Without it,
I CAN'T LIVE! 

Waking up every morning..To your face. 

To your hate.. 


IM BUILT ON IT.. And its.. Built on me. 

  (Chorus)
I can't describe the feeling inside.
Oh.. Oh.. OHHHH!
I can't compromise..

Oh am I alive?
My sunshine is dying.

I can't delight
I am so deprived.

Such a great disguise..
Oh.. Oh... OHHHH..

I don't think I can survive the night...

Oh.. Oh.. OHHHHH!!
Its been awhile that I could satisfy this longing in my SOUUUUUUUL..

Oh.. Oh.. OHHHHH!


(Outro)
Oh my darling baby..

My snarling heart can't take no more. 
Can't take no more, No.. Can't take no more. 

Please, Stop. My aching heart can't take it no more. 
Oh.. Oh. OHHH! .. No.. 

Can't take it no more.
