between the lines
bareilles, sara
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
no right minds could wrong be
i'm queen of attention to details
defending intentions if he fails
it sounded familiar in a way
i could have sworn i'd heard him say it ten thousand times
if only i had been listening
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
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
