I'm getting better at reading between your lines Guess you had to let me down easy one too many times It must mean something that you’re taking this long to decide See, I'm getting better at reading between your lines When we’re together, you give me all of the signs That you’re in love, but maybe you’re just trying to be polite I'm learning to stop myself short from falling this time I'm just better at reading between your lines You’re not the type that would usually catch my eye You’re loud and flip, and you’ve got to be the center of attention all the time But I saw past your brash exterior and on a sweeter side I was just learning how to read between your lines You sent me a letter that said nothing at all I got the impression that you didn’t want to call And I understood why, but I would’ve just rather That you said goodbye So that just for once, just for this one time I wouldn’t have to read, read between your lines
