Between The Lines piano leadsheet with chords

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 mem'ry 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.

Oh, if only I had been list'ning.

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 say or to leave.

Mine was so easy to uncover.

He'd already left with the other.

So I've learned to listen through silence.

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.

Mm.
