Fault Lines Lyrics

I used to be the one to light the fire that burned behind your eyes

But time has a funny way of turning eager flames back into coals

Even within my embrace you seem so far away from me now

You lie next to me silent like I'm just another pretty thing that you wear

I look back at you wondering how we ever turned into the people we are

Somehow I've found that I don't know you anymore

You used to be the star to tread across the sky in all my dreams.

But time has a funny way of turning eager eyes back toward the ground

How much longer will we hide behind this old charade before we break apart

You lie next to me silent like I'm just another pretty thing that you wear

I look back at you wondering how we ever turned into the people we are

This ring still sits where you placed it, but it feels much heavier each day this goes on

Somehow I've found that I don't know you anymore

You know we're falling

We're falling apart

It's not your fault

It's not your fault

You're not to blame

You're never to blame

It's all my fault

It's all my fault

You lie next to me silent like I'm just another pretty thing that you wear

I look back at you wondering how I ever turned into this man I've become

This ring still sits where you placed it, but it feels much heavier each day this goes on

Somehow I've found that I don't know you anymore

And I still remember how beautiful you were with the flowers and the sun in your hair

Back then you loved me for all that I could be

I guess I lost you somewhere on the way
