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...
