Faultline

I didn't call you today

Didn't think I could trust my voice in all that noise

Fighting for the space, staring down at these words

Tearing up all the reasons why I should try

But God knows why it hurts to be watching, waiting and pleading

when everyone here can see

That I can't heal this rift, feel plates shift

Tell me, me don't tell me everything is fine

One move and I'll slip, one breath I drift

Tell me, don't tell me everything is fine

Stuck here on this faultline

I'm walking down to the park

Trying too hard to forget, the wet cement where you left your heart

Tangled more than torn, dangled so long it must it's true, I still do

But God knows why it hurts to be watching, waiting and pleading,

when everyone here can see

That I can't heal this rift, feel plates shift

Tell me, me don't tell me everything is fine

One move and I'll slip, one breath I drift

Tell me, don't tell me everything is fine

Stuck here on this faultline

I never wanted more, no never needed more

I hope you know, I never meant you harm

Should have drawn you closer, should have kept my distance

Wish I could but this is the length of my arm

Can't heal this rift, feel plates shift

Tell me, don't tell me everything is fine

Can't heal this rift, feel plates shift

Tell me, don't tell me everything is fine

One move and I'll slip, one breath I drift

Tell me, don't tell me everything is fine

Stuck here on this faultline
