You came
strolling into my life,
how'd you get around the wall?
Make me lay down my defenses,
will this be another fall?
You're disturbing my cool side
Questioning the premise that
I'm all I've got
I've been hurt so bad so many times
Living in a lonely shell
Pretending I am all sufficient
Not even honest to myself
About the broken heart inside
Longing for love, but living a lie
If I say that I don't need you
I'll go on the same without you
Bitter truth lies deep inside
My desperate alibi
Can you see my soul is empty?
Or trace the tears I hide?
If you love me, oh
Read between the lines,
oh
You've heard it said that love and loss
are two halves of the whole
An d you've got to pay the piper,
but the price can gouge your soul
Every scar I carry shows
If I say that I don't need you,
I'll go on the same without you
Bitter truth lies deep inside
my desperate alibi
Can you see my soul
is empty?
What strength and tears I hide
If you love me
Oh, won't you read
between the lines?
Read between the lines
If I say that I don't need you,
I don't wanna stay without you
Bitter truth lies deep inside,
like desperate alibi
Can you see my soul is empty,
or trace the tears I hide?
Oh, if you love me, oh
If you love me, oh
We're between lies
Love between the lines
