[Verse 1]
Now about all these fault lines
Are they Yours or are they mine
‘Cause my fear wants to define it all
Place the blame so I can move along
[Chorus]
Every burden You take
Every doubt and mistake
You don’t send the earthquake
But You heal the heartbreak of it all
[Verse 2]
And how about all these questions
The answers don’t seem to solve them
They don’t mend what is hurt inside
But with You it all begins to unwind
[Bridge]
Nothing forgotten
Nothing is wasted with You, with You
This is Your goodness
This is a promise with You, with You
Faultlines I
Song Meaning
Kalley Heiligenthal opens "Faultlines I" with a question about ownership rather than an accusation — "now about all these fault lines, are they Yours or are they mine" — before naming the actual temptation underneath the question: "'cause my fear wants to define it all, place the blame so I can move along."
The chorus answers that impulse by separating two things fear tends to combine — "every burden You take, every doubt and mistake, You don't send the earthquake, but You heal the heartbreak of it all" — crediting comfort without assigning blame for the damage itself.
"How about all these questions, the answers don't seem to solve them, they don't mend what is hurt inside" admits that explanation and healing aren't the same thing, and "with You it all begins to unwind" offers a slower, less certain process than a fixed answer would. The bridge's closing claim, "nothing forgotten, nothing is wasted with You," turns the fault lines named at the start into material rather than only damage.
