Half-Done

Verse 1

Job site, supply yard, Home Depot run

Same three stops till the day is done

YouTube Shorts in the dashboard glow

Another man telling you what you know

Swipe to a hammer, swipe to a drill

Swipe past anything that asks you to feel

I tried talking 'bout a life we could make

You showed me a saw and said, "Look at that blade"

Pre-Chorus

You know every bit in a hundred-piece set

But a little self-reflection?

Haven't bought that yet

Chorus

All the tools, none of the work

When it comes to love, somebody gets hurt

You can talk all day 'bout a heavy-duty brand

But you can't build a life with an empty hand

Home Depot knows you by your first name

I knew every version of "I'm gonna change"

Got a truck full of answers for lumber and dirt

All the tools, none of the work

Verse 2

You say those kids are your whole damn world

Then leave their treasures where our life unfurled

Some at my house, some packed out back

In a car that won't start, underneath a stack

Storage-unit childhood, boxes piled high

Things they love that you just push aside

Every other weekend, a hotel key

While you sleep at your boss's in between

Pre-Chorus

You can find a bargain on a brand-new saw

But a place of your own?

There's another stalled job

Chorus

All the tools, none of the work

When it comes to love, somebody gets hurt

You can talk all day 'bout a heavy-duty brand

But you can't build a life with an empty hand

Home Depot knows you by your first name

I knew every version of "I'm gonna change"

Got a truck full of answers for lumber and dirt

All the tools, none of the work

Bridge — quieter, then building

It wasn't the paycheck, it wasn't the score

I loved you before I knew either one

It was watching you reach for that phone once more

While everything real stayed half-done

Those kids deserve more than their things in a pile

I deserved more than "just wait a while"

You kept buying tools for the man you would be

Left all the growing up waiting on me

Final Chorus

All the tools, none of the work

Another quick clip, another sharp turn

Job site, supply yard, back to the store

Still driving circles around something more

Home Depot knows you by your first name

I'm done waiting for a man to change

You can measure a board, can't measure the hurt

All the tools, none of the work

Outro — spoken, dry

Hey, Nick—

Next time you're at Home Depot,

Ask what aisle they keep accountability in.
