Fault Line
Unveiling Heartbreak: Navigating the Fault Line of Emotions
Lyrics
What if I laid out my hurt for you
The singer wonders what would happen if they revealed their pain to someone.
A pile on the floor for your hands to sort through
Describes the willingness to expose emotional turmoil to someone for their assistance or understanding.
What if I told you the honest truth
Contemplating whether revealing the raw truth would be beneficial.
Would you even wanna know
Questioning if the recipient would genuinely want to know the truth.
Well it’s been a while since I went away
Reflecting on a past absence or separation.
If our paths would cross now what would you say
Imagining a hypothetical encounter in the present and anticipating the response of the other person.
I shouldn’t be asking about you anyway
Realization that dwelling on the other person might not be appropriate.
Cause I already know
Confidence in already knowing the answer or outcome.
Felt like I’m reaching out for something that I know was never really there
Sense of grasping for something that was never truly attainable or real.
And every word you didn’t say made silence heavy hanging in the air
Highlighting the weight of unspoken words leading to a heavy silence.
I wish you could have let me
Desire for emotional support during vulnerable moments.
Fall apart when I was empty
Wishing for comfort and understanding during times of emotional emptiness.
Wish you wanted to be my light in the dark
Longing for someone to be a guiding source of positivity in difficult times.
A hollow conversation, a hesitation
Referring to superficial or shallow conversations and hesitation in communication.
Not to mention I’ve been calling out to you right from the start
Expressing a continuous effort to seek connection and attention from the other person.
I wish you could have let me fall apart
Desire for acceptance in vulnerable states.
On this side of the fault line
Acknowledging being on a particular side or perspective of a figurative "fault line," signifying a division or separation.
I’m headed home
Heading towards a sense of home or comfort.
I’ve found new air to breathe
Discovering a new perspective or finding a sense of relief.
Now I do believe my song has been sung
Feeling completion or closure in expressing oneself.
On this side of the fault line
Continuing to acknowledge being on a particular side or perspective of a division.
I’m better now
Feeling improved or healed from past experiences.
And I can trust myself
Regaining self-trust and self-forgiveness after facing difficulties.
Forgive myself for coming undone
Granting forgiveness to oneself for past struggles or mistakes.
I wish you could have let me
Reiteration of the desire for emotional support during vulnerable moments.
Fall apart when I was empty
Desire for someone's presence and support during emotional emptiness.
Wish you wanted to be my light in the dark
Longing for guidance and positivity from another person in dark times.
A hollow conversation, a hesitation
Highlighting superficial communication and hesitation in dialogue.
Not to mention I’ve been calling out to you right from the start
Continued effort to seek connection and attention from the other person from the beginning.
And as the curtain closes
Moment of realization or closure marked by the metaphorical "curtain closing."
My eyes are open, eyes are open
Acknowledging clarity or understanding.
And I see you not as something that I’ve lost
Seeing the person as not merely a loss but in a new perspective.
I wish you could have let me fall apart
Reiteration of the desire for acceptance during vulnerable moments.
I wish you could have let me fall apart
Repetition of the desire for acceptance during challenging times.
