Built to Last Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were so close
And now you've pushed me away
Remember when I was important to you
But now just another face to you
And I, guess I didn't matter to you at all
And I tried to change for you
Always trying to please you
Forgetting myself
Thinking I was never good enough
Maybe it's better you found someone else
Because I can't back what I
Did wrong to you
And I, guess I didn't matter to you at all
And I tried to change for you
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
Good enough
I won't change
Taking back words (x3)
I won't forgot
Taking back words (x3)
I won't forget
In time
I won't forget
In time
No I won't forget
The words you said
In time
The lyrics of Built to Last's song "In Time" speaks of one's realization of being taken for granted by someone he thought was once important to him. The song starts with the confusion of the singer as to why he was pushed away by someone he was once close to. He remembers how it used to be when he was important to this person, but now he feels like just another face to him. The singer questions if he really deserved to be treated that way. He tried to change and please the other person, but his best was not good enough. He then thinks that maybe it's better the other person found someone else because he cannot back what he did wrong to him. The singer comes to the conclusion that he didn't matter to the other person at all.
The song captures the common situation of people losing themselves in the process of pleasing someone else. The singer forgot himself and tried too hard to change for the other person, but it still didn't work out. It can also be seen as a reflection of the struggles of a failing relationship and how miscommunication and taking someone for granted can ultimately lead to the end of it.

I've looked for love in stranger places
But never found someone like you
Someone who's smart
Makes me feel I've been holding back
An now theres nothing I can do
Cause this is real and this is good
It warms the inside just like it should
But most of all
Most of all It's built to last
It's built to last
(It's built to last)
All of our friends saw from the star
So why didn't we believe it too?
Now look where we are
You're in my heart now
And there's no escaping it for you
'Cause this is real and this is good
It warms the inside just like it should
But most of all
Most of all it's built to last
Walking on the hills at night
With the fire works and candle light
You and I were meant to get love right
Cause this is real and this is good
It warms the inside just like it should
But most of all
Most of all it's built to last
(It's built to last)
'Cause you are the sun in my universe
Consider the best when we felt the worst
But most of all
Most of all
Most of all it's built to last

Someone whose smile makes me feel
I've been holding back
And now there's nothing I can do
'Cause this is real and this is good
It warms the inside just like it should
Most of all, most of all
It's built to last
（It's built to last）
All of our friends saw from the start
So why didn't we believe it too?
Oh yeah,
now look where we are
You're in my heart now
And there's no escaping it for you
友達はみんな最初から気づいてたけど
どうして僕たちそう信じなかったんだろう？
ああそうさ
いま僕たちがいるところを見てごらん
きみはいま 僕の胸のなかにいる
僕はきみをもう逃がさないよ
'Cause this is real and this is good
It warms the inside just like it should
Most of all, most of all
It's built to last
だってこれは本物で 素敵なもの
心のなかから暖めてくれるのさ
あるがままに
そしてなによりも
愛が続くようにできているんだ
Walking on the hills at night
With those fireworks and candlelight
You and I were made to get love right
丘を二人で夜に歩いたよね
花火とろうそくの炎がきれいだったね
きみと僕はすぐ愛し合うように
運命づけられていたんだよ
'Cause this is real and this is good
It warms the inside just like it should
Most of all, most of all
It's built to last

本物で素晴らしい愛
心からあるがままに暖めてくれる
そしてそれは何よりも
永遠に続いて行くんだよ
（そう運命づけられてるのさ）

I used to listen to this song everyday when i was a child. As i'm growing up i totally forget about this song, the bands name, and even the lyrics. And suddenly the lyrics "this is real and this is good" pops up in my head and here i'm finding my way back to this song.

Me too! Was listening to different band with similar sound when i suddenly remembered bits of their music video and reckoned that i used to love it. It took me a couple of days to finally remember "this is real this good" part 💪💪💪
