[Verse 1]
I got a yard
It’s full of wildflowers
'Cause I'm a wild child, yeah, I got my own style
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
[Chorus]
I built this house
From the foundation to the roof
It’s all me, baby
Blood, sweat and the truth
Solid ground and weather proof
I had to tear the old one down
Was livin' 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
[Verse 2]
No, I couldn’t ever be myself

From the foundation to the roof
It’s all me, baby
Blood, sweat and the truth
Solid ground and weather proof
I had to tear the old one down
Was livin' 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
[Outro]
I built this house
I built this house
