[Intro] [bright chiming guitar] I drew a line across the pavement Stepped over it and changed my name If the whole world wants an answer It can learn to ask me first [Verse 1] There’s a crack beneath the city There’s a tremor under my skin Everybody wants a strong girl Till she chooses not to bend I can hear the walls complaining I can feel the pressure start Funny thing about foundations They don’t owe you their whole heart [Pre-Chorus] So let it shake Let it show If it isn’t mine I let it go [Chorus] Fault-line Heart I know where the breaking starts I know what holds I know what falls apart Fault-line Heart You can’t build your house on me I’ll move the ground before I let you bury me [Verse 2] New dress New name New little miracle Same old weight at every door I thought magic meant becoming someone nobody knew before But possibility is cruel that way It only turns the volume high You can change the clothes around me Still can’t tell me who am I Or why [Pre-Chorus] Let it shake Let it show Keep your hands off what I owe [Chorus] Fault-line Heart I know where the breaking starts I know what holds I know what falls apart Fault-line Heart You can’t build your house on me I’ll move the ground before I let you bury me [Bridge — lighter, almost playful] If I save the day don’t make it weird Don’t call it fate Don’t call it years Don’t write my name into your plan I did one thing That’s all I am [brief guitar break] Maybe two [Final Chorus] Fault-line Heart I know where the breaking starts Every fault leaves a little map Fault-line Heart I can leave and still be kind I don’t have to stay to prove that I survived Fault-line Heart Let the whole street shake beneath me I found a name that almost feels like being free [Outro] [bright guitar motif] Know what holds Know what yields [soft vocal] Still working out which one is me
