[Verse 1] I built this house with my two hands Every cut and scar, you said you understand Drew our names in the wet cement Thought this was love, thought this was permanent I saved a ring in the top desk drawer Practiced the words till my throat got sore You walked out with your suitcase packed Left me alone with the weight of what we lacked [Pre-Chorus] Now every room is screaming out your name Every quiet corner feeding all my rage I gave you everything that I could create You gave it all away [Chorus] I’m just broken, just like the furniture I made Splintered pieces in a room that feels like a grave You tore me open, ripped my heart right from my chest Shattered memories lying where we used to rest I’m just broken, broken in every frame Smashing all the pictures till I can’t see your face I’m just broken, just like the furniture I made [Verse 2] You took his hand while I held plans A future drawn in ink across my calloused hands I see your smile in the photograph glass Cracks spread slow as I watch our past I swing my rage at the bedroom chair The one I carved for you like a whispered prayer Wood and nails can’t hold this ache Every splinter’s screaming every choice you made [Pre-Chorus] Now every wall is caving with the truth Every broken board still smells like you I carved forever in the maple grain You carved an exit through my veins [Chorus] I’m just broken, just like the furniture I made Splintered pieces in a room that feels like a grave You tore me open, ripped my heart right from my chest Shattered memories lying where we used to rest I’m just broken, broken in every frame Smashing all the pictures till I can’t see your face I’m just broken, just like the furniture I made [Bridge] You didn’t know I was gonna ask you to stay On one knee, with a ring, throw your past away Now I’m on my knees for a different reason Picking up shards of a love that stopped breathing The coffee table’s on its side like me The bed frame’s cracked where you used to sleep I break what I built just to feel something Cut my hands on the edges of our ending [Breakdown] I’m tearing down our memories, piece by piece Every swing is a prayer that I’ll finally be free But the dust won’t cover what you left in me I’m the ruin of the man I meant to be [Chorus] I’m just broken, just like the furniture I made Splintered pieces in a room that feels like a grave You tore me open, ripped my heart right from my chest Shattered memories lying where we used to rest I’m just broken, broken in every frame Smashing all the pictures till I can’t see your face I’m just broken, just like the furniture I made [Outro] I’m just broken, broken and betrayed In the wreckage of the life I tried to shape You walked away, left my heart in flames I’m just broken, just like the furniture I made
