Faultline

By now you've left town

Your mind on the yellow lines

You've left all my weight behind

There's something very wrong

You can feel it when you're with me

A tender kind of distance

I can't stop the thundering when it comes

And I can barely look at you

When you wear that love on your face

So soft and new, I just can't take it

Shoving down the dread for months now

Don't know how much longer I will make it

And if I could do it over

I'd catch myself as I fell

Tell myself to wait

Try to spare myself the pain

But you surely won me over

The mere mention of your name

I worry I'm forever changed

I'm forever changed

Knew I'd need to reckon with reality someday

But I wanted to put it off, maintain my rituals

Coddle all my tender figments

Built a life within my fictions

It isn't your fault

Everything is all mine

It isn't your fault

Everything is all mine

It isn't your fault

Everything is all mine

It isn't your fault

Everything is all mine

Everything is all mine

Everything is all mine
