So I learned to listen through silence
You and me always be

That we'd move from the shadows on the wall

I thought I, thought I was ready to bleed
Stand in the center of it all

It sounded familiar in a way
Between the lines
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
No right minds could wrong, be this many times
I'm queen of attention to details
Eyes wide shut, unopened

Leave unsaid, unspoken
No pieces of paper in the way
Between the lines, between the lines
These opposite sides on which we fall
You and me always be
That I could have sworn I'd heard him say it

Until now, he told me her name
You and me always be
Ten thousand times, oh, if only I had been listening
You and me always between the lines
'Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
Wait for me, I'm almost ready when he meant let go
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
Mine was so easy to uncover
Leave unsaid, unspoken
He'd already left with the other
Eyes wide shut, unopened
The loving you laters if at all
You and me always between the lines
Too late, two choices, to stay or to leave

My memory is cruel

Eyes wide shut, unopened

Defending intentions if he fails
Leave unsaid, unspoken
