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
