Between the Lines
Time to tell me the truthTo burden your mouth for what you sayNo pieces of paper in the way
'Cause I can't continue pretending to chooseThese opposite sides on which we fallThe loving you laters if at allNo right minds could wrong, be this many times
My memory is cruelI'm queen of attention to detailsDefending intentions if he fails
Until now, he told me her nameIt sounded familiar in a wayThat I could have sworn I'd heard him say itTen thousand times, oh, if only I had been listening
Leave unsaid, unspokenEyes wide shut, unopenedYou and me always between the linesBetween the lines
I thought I, thought I was ready to bleedThat we'd move from the shadows on the wallStand in the center of it all
Too late, two choices, to stay or to leaveMine was so easy to uncoverHe'd already left with the otherSo I learned to listen through silence
Leave unsaid, unspokenEyes wide shut, unopenedYou and me always beYou and me always be
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to sayI'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay onWait for me, I'm almost ready when he meant let go
Leave unsaid, unspokenEyes wide shut, unopenedYou and me always beYou and me always between the linesBetween the lines, between the lines
