Fault Line

We wrote our vows and

Said I do

Built ourselves a home

The foundation gave

Temptation came and

Cracks began to show

Living on a fault line

I’m the one to blame

Crashing through the stop signs

Choking down the shame

Yes I know better

Get back on solid ground

I’m loving on a fault line 

Tearing our house down

I should burn this 

Flannel shirt

I put it on 

And I think of her

Standing in that

Motel room

In nothing else

Swearing she’ll never tell

Living on the fault line

I’m the one to blame

Crashing through the stop signs

Choking down the shame

Yes I know better

Get back on solid ground

But I’m loving on a fault line 

Tearing our house down

I feel the tremors coming on

My body starts to shake

The ground gives way

Beneath my feet

As her heart begins to break

Living on the fault line (fault line)

I’m the one to blame (fault line)

Choking down the shame

Tearing our house down
