READ BETWEEN
You say you're fine...
But your eyes say different.
Yeah...
I learned to read between.
You say you don't need nobody Then you call me when you're
lonely
Say you're better on your own But you hate being alone
You leave messages half finished
Like you want me to complete them
Say you don't know what you're feeling
But I know exactly what you're meaning
You don't have to say it
I can hear it in the pauses
Every time you change the subject
Every time you hide behind your walls
You tell me that we're nothing
But you never let me go
If this isn't what you wanted
Why you always at my door?
I don't need another explanation
I can feel the hesitation
You say one thing Then you do another
Maybe we're both afraid
To call it what it is I read between
Everything you don't say
Between the lines Of every word you throw away
I read between The silence and the lies You can tell me
you're okay But I can see it in your eyes I read
between The distance that you keep You say you're letting go
But you're holding on to me
I don't need you to explain I already know what you mean
I read between. You disappear when it gets serious
Come back when the room gets quiet
You say that I'm too complicated
But you're the one who never defines it
We keep dancing around the subject
Like we're scared of what we'll find
Maybe honesty is dangerous
When you know it changes everything
I don't want another almost
Another "maybe someday"
Another night where you get close
Then disappear the next day
If you want me,
say it clearly
If you don't, then let me leave I don't need another puzzle
I don't need another mystery No more guessing
No more decoding
No more reading
What you leave unspoken If it's real Let it breathe
If it's over Let me leave
I won't chase What won't stay I won't beg You to explain
Say what you mean.
Mean what you say.
No more games. No more halfway.
Say what you mean.
Mean what you say.
If you want me...
Don't make me read between.
You don't have to say it...
I already know.
I read between.
