Get up every morning, put my

get up every morning, put my boots on by the bed,
There's a thousand things I'm carrying that I never even said.
You get up and go to work too, girl, I know your days are long,
But that don't give you the right to make me feel like I'm always wrong.
I come home and try to love you, try to ask you how you've been,
But before I get two words out, we're fighting once again.
I ain't saying I'm an angel, Lord knows I've made mistakes,
But I'm giving you what's left of me, and there's only so much I can take.
[Chorus]
I'm trying to fix what you keep breaking,
Trying to save a love you keep forsaking.
I'm reaching out, you're pushing me away,
I'm begging you to love me, you're begging me to change.
You tear me down, I build us back again,
But how the hell can I keep fighting if you don't want us to win?
I'm holding on with everything, while you're loosening your grip,
Girl, I'm trying to save forever—
But you keep breaking what I'm trying to fix.
[Verse 2]
I've brought you flowers just because, I've said I'm sorry when I'm wrong,
I've swallowed words that hurt like hell just to keep us moving on.
I've tried to have those late-night talks, I've tried to make you smile,
But every time I think we're getting somewhere, you push me back a mile.
You tell me I don't do enough, no matter what I do,
And I'm starting to forget the man I was before I married you.
I'm not asking you to quit your job or carry all my pain,
I'm just asking you to stand beside me instead of treating me with shame.
[Chorus]
I'm trying to fix what you keep breaking,
Trying to save a love you keep forsaking.
I'm reaching out, you're pushing me away,
I'm begging you to love me, you're begging me to change.
You tear me down, I build us back again,
But how the hell can I keep fighting if you don't want us to win?
I'm holding on with everything, while you're loosening your grip,
Girl, I'm trying to save forever—
But you keep breaking what I'm trying to fix.
[Bridge — emotional, almost spoken]
I remember when you loved me,
When my touch could make you smile.
Now I feel like I'm a stranger
You've been tolerating for a while.
And I ain't asking for a perfect wife,
Hell, I know I'm not a perfect man.
But I can't keep being the only one
Who's reaching out a hand.
You say you want a better husband,
Well, I'm trying every day.
But you can't keep throwing stones at me
Then wonder why I'm breaking away.
[Final Chorus — powerful]
I'm tired of fixing what you keep breaking,
Tired of giving while my heart keeps aching.
I've spent so many nights just begging you to stay,
While you make me feel like loving me's a burden every day.
I never wanted anybody else, I only wanted you,
But loving someone shouldn't mean forgetting I'm a person too.
And if one day I finally leave, don't say that I just quit,
'Cause I spent a thousand nights trying to save
What you kept breaking bit by bit.
[Outro — quiet acoustic guitar]
I'll still get up tomorrow,
Still put those boots on by the door.
But I don't know how much longer
I can keep fighting for us anymore.
I gave you all the love I had,
And somehow it came to this...
I was trying to save our marriage,
While you kept breaking what I tried to fix.
