Not Built To Last Lyrics - Haven - Dark Tranquility

[music: Jivarp, Henriksson, Brandstrom] 

What comes as no surprise 

To a jaded mind no less 

Insight comes from soothing grace 

Left to waiting days 

Another chord unstrummed 

Our secret's safe and sound 

Solid now, unless it breaks in two 

Faithfully unbound 

And none of this was ever built to last 

With the paleness of a less than life 

From a corner watching old paint dry 

Never once a break 

Into the self again 

An endeavor that will flat or fail 

What maturity comes to end 

Never one to face 

Another beat undone 

Our secret's safe and sound 

Solid now, unless it breaks in two 

Faithfully unbound 

And none of this was ever built to last 

Once again 

Another instant saved today 

Left a print that leads nowhere 

Never built to last 

What makes it work 

A part of life that'll make a weak heart grow 

Take it if you're willing to pay, willing to kill 

Prepared to lay it down 

Just know that 

(The prayer, the lord, the weaker, the prey) 

Was never ever built to last 

Never ever built to last
