Under Construction

I built a fort, became an empire
At seventeen, I had the world on a plate
I didn't know that I was so high up
When the tower started to break

Needed a moment to myself
To understand my heavy-hearted ways
Wanted to go and ask for help
Without the risk that it would all just slip away

But I'm ok
I'm not ashamed
Didn't believe it till you said it to me

Know everything
Is gonna change
When you've crashed and burned it time to be clean

When the walls come tumbling down
Through the rubble I finally made my way out
And I'm picking up the pieces up now
I'm under construction

At 25, froze in a flashback
Came to a sudden revelation
Had to accept the flaws that I had
Without all the humiliation

Some words are harder off the tongue
When I've never said them before
Feels like each letter weighs a ton
And it's only me that's keeping score

I count my battles every day
Against all the voices in my head
Hold on, hold on for more

But I'm ok
10 years late
Didn't believe it till you said it to me

Know everything
Is gonna change
When you've crashed and burned it's time to be clean

When the walls come tumbling down
Through the rubble I finally made my way out
And I'm picking up the pieces up now
I'm under construction
I'm under construction

When the walls come tumbling down
Through the rubble I finally made my way out
And I'm picking up the pieces up now
I'm under construction
Under construction
Ooh
Under construction
