Between The Lines
by Sara Bareilles

Album: Little Voice

Verse 1
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-laters, if at all
No right minds could wrong be
This many times

Verse 2
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
And I could have sworn I'd heard him say it
Ten thousand times
Oh, If only I had been listening

Chorus
Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines

Verse 3
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

Chorus
Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me, always beâ€"
You and me, always beâ€"

Bridge
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"

Chorus
Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me, always beâ€"
You and me, always between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines
Mmm...
