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 The opposite sides on which we fall The loving you laters if at all No right minds could wrong be this many times  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 I could have sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times If only I had been listening  Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me Always between the lines Between the lines  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  Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me be You and me always be  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  Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me Always be You and me Always between the lines
