Dear carpenter, I'm not doing all right
I've got some new bruises and I can't count them all
You're looking well, can't say the same for myself
I'm sorry to barge in I just needed to talk

You ran to the door and stopped what you were doing
You didn't think twice and gave me a seat
And said, oh how I missed you I said you don't know the half
Oh carpenter, would you fix me?
You smiled at me 'cause I didn't even need to ask

Dear Carpenter, I'm feeling lost in this life
I've been through the ringer
Don't know what to believe
I always mean well, but make a fool of myself
Now all I have left are just pieces of me
My heart has been shattered
My spirit's been crushed
I'm rough on the edges and it's probably my fault
But I've seen how you work
You've got five-star reviews
Oh Carpenter, I need you
You reached out your hand and for a second it didn't hurt so bad

You know what they say
You are who you are
You can't change a thing when you've fallen so far
But you laughed at the thought
You knew they were wrong
Cause redemption and mercy just aren't that far off

Oh, and little did I know this whole time you'd been working
So carefully crafting to make it all fit
And now I get to live like I've never been broken
You've restored things in me only a Carpenter could fix
We talked through these things over blueprints and tea
You smiled at me 'cause I didn't even need to ask
