Between the Lines

I'm queen of attention to details
You and me always be

So I learned to listen through silence
Stand in the center of it all
The loving you laters if at all

Too late, two choices, to stay or to leave
Between the lines
Leave unsaid, unspoken

Leave unsaid, unspoken
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
You and me always between the lines
Defending intentions if he fails
Eyes wide shut, unopened
Mine was so easy to uncover
No pieces of paper in the way
You and me always be
Leave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened

Ten thousand times, oh, if only I had been listening
You and me always be

That I could have sworn I'd heard him say it
Wait for me, I'm almost ready when he meant let go
These opposite sides on which we fall
Eyes wide shut, unopened

He'd already left with the other
It sounded familiar in a way
Until now, he told me her name
I thought I, thought I was ready to bleed
You and me always between the lines
'Cause I can't continue pretending to choose

No right minds could wrong, be this many times
My memory is cruel

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