“Between the Lines”
Verse 1
You say my name like nothing’s wrong,
But your eyes won’t stay with mine too long.
Your phone lights up, you turn away,
I feel the truth in what you don’t say.
Late nights wrapped in “working late,”
Cologne that I don’t recognize.
You smile, but it don’t reach your face,
And I see guilt behind your lies.
Pre-Chorus
I trusted every word you gave,
Built my heart on promises.
Now every silence feels so loud,
Like love is breaking into bits.
Chorus
You cheated me out of honesty,
Cheated love out of a chance to breathe.
You crossed a line you said you’d never cross,
Now we’re counting everything we lost.
It wasn’t just another name,
It was my heart you chose to play.
You didn’t just cheat on me—
You cheated on who we were meant to be.
Verse 2
I replay moments in my head,
Wondering where I disappeared.
Was I too quiet, too secure,
Or did you just stop wanting me here?
You say it “didn’t mean a thing,”
But neither did the vows you broke.
Funny how something so “small”
Can leave a soul completely broke.
Pre-Chorus
I would’ve fought, I would’ve stayed,
If you had let me know the truth.
But you chose secrets over love,
And now I’m choosing me over you.
Chorus
You cheated me out of honesty,
Cheated love out of a chance to breathe.
You crossed a line you said you’d never cross,
Now we’re counting everything we lost.
It wasn’t just another name,
It was my heart you chose to play.
You didn’t just cheat on me—
You cheated on who we were meant to be.
Bridge
Maybe one day you’ll understand,
What loyalty was worth back then.
I hope the thrill was worth the cost,
Of everything you chose to lose.
Final Chorus
You cheated me out of my trust,
Turned “forever” into dust.
I’ll heal, I’ll rise, I’ll walk away,
Stronger than before the pain.
You can keep the lies you made,
I’m done living half-loved this way.
You didn’t just cheat on me—
You cheated, and you set me free.
Outro
Now I read the truth between the lines,
And I won’t ignore the signs this time.
