And for This One Too

Between the Lines: Sara Bareillis

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

That 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

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 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
