Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Been carryin’ you Like lumber on my back Every promise just a nail Pushed deeper in the cracks You lean on me ’Til my edges start to warp All this weight you never see But I feel every board [Chorus] My wood is sore from givin’ you this 2x4 I hold you up You just demandin’ more I’m bendin’ Splittin’ Breakin’ at the core My wood is sore from givin’ you this 2x4 [Verse 2] You walk on me Like a floor you never swept Boots full of mud On the vows we never kept I used to be A clean-cut steady frame Now I’m knots and twisted grain You still call me the one to blame [Chorus] My wood is sore from givin’ you this 2x4 I hold you up You just demandin’ more I’m bendin’ Splittin’ Breakin’ at the core My wood is sore from givin’ you this 2x4 [Bridge] Maybe I should let this whole house fall (ohh) Let these tired beams finally rest You can find another wall to lean on I gave you all I gave my best [Chorus] My wood is sore from givin’ you this 2x4 I held you up You just demanded more Now I’m done I’m walkin’ out the door My wood is sore I’m not your 2x4
