Faultline in My Chest

[Verse 1]

You said

"I need a little air"

Door half closed

Your coat still on

Coffee cooling in my hand

Clock on the stove stuck flashing wrong

[Pre-Chorus]

How did we end up here

This quiet?

Two ghosts in an unmade bed

I keep replaying every moment

Til the room hums in my head (yeah)

Every word you never said

Shaking pictures on the wall

I’m afraid to watch them fall

If you’re leaving

Say it straight

Don’t let silence set the stakes

Tell me this is not the end

Or teach my heart to break again

[Verse 2]

Found your sweater in the sink

Smelled like rain and new regrets

All the little scattered things

Tiny storms on the carpet

[Pre-Chorus]

Are we saving what is broken

Or just scared of being alone?

I keep tracing all your outlines

On the screen light of my phone (oh)

I’m afraid to watch them fall

If you’re leaving

Say it straight

Don’t let silence set the stakes

Tell me this is not the end

Or teach my heart to break again

Like a lifeline

White-knuckled tight (hey)

If this is goodbye

Let it hit like thunder

Fast

Don’t let us fade

Shaking pictures on the wall

I’m afraid to watch them fall

If you’re leaving

Say it straight

Don’t let silence set the stakes

Tell me this is not the end

Or teach my heart to break again (again)
