Between the Lines - Sara Bareilles

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

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

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, always 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

Between the lines

Between the lines

Mmm…
