Between the Lines

[Verse 1]

Time to tell me the truth

To burden your mouth for what you say

No pieces of paper in the way

'Cause I can't continue pretending to choose

These opposite sides on which we fall

The loving-you-laters, if at all

No right minds could wrong be

This many times

[Verse 2]

My memory is cruel

I'm queen of attention to details

Defending intentions if he fails

Until now: he told me her name

It sounded familiar in a way

And I could have sworn I'd heard him say it

Ten thousand times

Oh, If only I had been listening

[Chorus]

Leave unsaid unspoken

Eyes wide shut, unopened

You and me

Always between the lines

Between the lines

[Verse 3]

I thought I, thought I was ready to bleed

That we'd move from the shadows on the wall

And stand in the center of it all

Too late, two choices: to stay or to leave

Mine was so easy to uncover

He'd already left with the other

So I've learned to listen through silence

[Chorus]

Leave unsaid unspoken

Eyes wide shut, unopened

You and me, always be–

You and me, always be–

[Bridge]

I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say

I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on

"Wait for me, I'm almost ready"

When he meant, "Let go"

[Chorus]

Leave unsaid unspoken

Eyes wide shut, unopened

You and me, always be–

You and me, always between the lines

Between the lines

Between the lines

Mmm...
