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
