Fault Line Heart

[Verse 1]
You said
"I'm fine"
But your keys shook in your hand
Coffee gone cold
TV talking to the empty room again
You wear your jacket
Like armor you forgot to mend
You keep on laughing
At jokes that never land
[Chorus]
We keep breaking on the same fault line
Cracks run shallow
Cut me deep inside
Every "it's nothing" is another lie
But I still stand
On this fault line heart of mine
Yeah
I still stand
On this fault line heart of mine
[Verse 2]
Late-night silence
Every word feels like it shouts
You slam the cupboard
Say it's nothing
Just worn out
But I see tremors
In the way you look away
Like you're already
Half a world from yesterday
[Chorus]
We keep breaking on the same fault line
Cracks run shallow
Cut me deep inside
Every "it's nothing" is another lie
But I still stand
On this fault line heart of mine
Yeah
I still stand
On this fault line heart of mine
[Bridge]
Say it hurts
Say you're scared
Say you hate the way I care (hey!)
Raise your voice
Let it shake the walls tonight
If it all falls down
Let it fall
Let it fall
I won't run
I'll be here through it all
[Chorus]
We keep breaking on the same fault line
Cracks run shallow
Cut me deep inside
Every "it's nothing" is another lie
But I still stand
On this fault line heart of mine
Yeah
I still stand
On this fault line heart of mine

Verses stay half-time and introspective; choruses drive with palm-muted chugs and big open crashes. Bridge brings a tense, syncopated breakdown that swells into a final, soaring hook with stacked harmonies., soft rock, metal
