Between the lines

Mm-mm

Some feelings never spoken out loud

Still echo through the room somehow

Yeah…

Sunday mornings in the kitchen light

Coffee brewing, everybody acting alright

You hold my waist like nothing changed

But your boys eyes still linger the same

And nobody knows what lives underneath

All the small talk and family peace

It’s subtle… hidden in the space between

A quiet kind of tension nobody sees

Cause every room gets heavy

When silence says too much

And every accidental moment

Feels a little dangerous

I keep pretending

But my heartbeat never lies

There’s secrets in the stillness

And truth behind our eyes

We keep it between the lines

Never crossing over

Just shadows passing by

Like strangers getting closer

And I know it ain’t right

But some feelings don’t die easy

So we bury them deep

Under “how you been lately?”

Between the lines…

That’s where we survive

Between the lines…

Where the truth stays alive

Late drives with the windows down low

Reggae playing soft on the radio

You’re beside me but my mind drifts far

To conversations underneath the stars

He understands the parts I don’t explain

Reads my silence better than my name

Never said a word out of place

Still I feel everything when he looks my way

No touch too long

No line too far

Just unfinished feelings

Hidden in the dark

And maybe in another life

Timing would’ve made it clear

But right now all we got

Are moments disappearing

We keep it between the lines

Never crossing over

Just shadows passing by

Like strangers getting closer

And I know it ain’t right

But some feelings don’t die easy

So we bury them deep

Under “how you been lately?”

Between the lines…

That’s where we survive

Between the lines…

Where the truth stays alive

So I smile through the tension

And dance through the ache

Loving one honestly

While the other still shakes me

Mm…

Some stories never get told

They just live in the silence

Growing old…
