Between the Lines

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 later as if at all
No right minds could wrong me this many timesMy memory is cruel
Queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if he failsUntil now, he told me her name
It sounded familiar in a way
I could have sworn I'd heard him say it
Ten thousand times, oh, if only I had been listeningLeave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me always between the lines
Between the linesI thought I, thought I was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
Stand in the center of it allToo late, two choices, to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He'd already left with the other
So I learned to listen through silenceLeave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me always be
You and me always beI 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 goLeave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me always be
You and me always between the lines
Between the lines, between the lines
