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
