Lyrics: Fault Line
You could go, and I won't even feel it Wouldn't hold up the road when you're leaving You're a bad holiday You're the drug that I take When I want to forget how I'm feeling I know you're a fault line But I'll break too Cracking at the same time Does it shock you? When I'm down I fall right back to you, it happens I know you're a fault line But I'll break too I'll break too You could go, and I bet I'd recover Overnight, finish hurting each other You feel light years away If I met you today I would run to the arms of another I know you're a fault line But I'll break too Cracking at the same time Does it shock you? When I'm down I fall back in to you, it happens I know you're a fault line But I'll break too I'll break too And all my imaginary friends are scared of you I've gone and cried to them in our bedroom Most nights I will pretend I left this sooner But I know you're a fault line But I'll break too Cracking at the same time Does it shock you? When I'm down I fall back in to you, it happens I know you're a fault line But I'll break too I'll break too I'll break too I'd break too
