[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
