Between the Lines
[Verse 1]
The morning attack
You pull the curtains back and light sheds upon the scene
Remembered like a moment in a dream
Home, the place I should have gone and slept alone
But came to your house to clear my head
And ended with the taste of sin instead, oh-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could know what I'd do back then
I would make you eat the words you laced with cyanide
Well, hold your tongue, for you
[Chorus]
You must lie awake at night and let this eat you up inside
Why, why don't you deny it all?
But time has shown me everything
All of those pathalogic games you played
The nights you walked away from me
I'll read between the lines
[Verse 2]
You belong in a convalescent home
With locks on every window
And writing on the walls, strapped to a chair
Spoon-fed with therapy
And small purple pills that hold your sanity
[Pre-Chorus]
You know damn well
That your head's more of a prison than this cell
Led by the thought that all you got is who you're with
Well, bite your lip, for you
[Chorus]
You must lie awake at night and let this eat you up inside
Why, why don't you deny it all?
But time has shown me everything
All of those pathologic games you played
The nights you walked away from me
I'll read between
[Bridges]
If I could know what I'd do back then
I would make you eat the words you laced with cyanide
And now I see that I am one (One of the so many convinced)
Of a million men (You were so much more than this)
Who had given you a life by letting you take mine
Well, I'm yours no more, for I have found a way out, whoa-oh
I have found a way out, oh
[Chorus]
You must lie awake at night and let this eat you up inside
Why, why don't you deny it all?
But time has shown me everything
All of those twisted little games you played
It's my turn to walk away
I'll read between the lines
I'll read between the lines
I'll read between the lines
