i can read between the lines

you don't laugh anymore

when we're alone

you don't talk quite as long

when we're on the phone

you say that you

still love me so

but i can read between the lines

you don't hear half the things

that i say to you

you don't hold me as close

as you used to do

you say that you

won't let me go

but i can read between the lines

your love for me is over

it isn't hard to tell

in every single thing you do

you say it all too well

and the glow in your eyes

is there no more

when you speak of the plans

that you have in store

it's time my dear

that i let you know

that i can read between the lines
