Title: “Between the Lines”
(Verse 1)
I keep my thoughts where the shadows stay
Hiding words that I’m scared to say
Out of reach but they echo loud
Painted smiles in a quiet crowd
Every night I replay your voice
You’re the calm in my scattered noise
Only truth that I never doubt
Underneath what I talk about
(Pre-Chorus)
Keep it locked but it starts to show
Nervous hands when you get too close
Out of breath, yeah you read me well
Wish I didn’t have to tell
(Chorus)
I’m a mess but I let you see
Little cracks that you pulled from me
Open heart but it’s bruised and worn
Vulnerable like never before
Every part of me leans your way
Yeah, even when I’m afraid to stay
Overthinking what we could be
Underneath, you still feel like home
(Verse 2)
Voices tell me to play it safe
Every risk leaves a mark I trace
Running circles inside my head
You’re the only quiet I get
Don’t know how to just let it flow
Every feeling I overload
Even then, when I pull away
Part of me always wants to stay
Lost in all that I try to hide
You still see what I keep inside
(Bridge)
And if I fall, will you let me land?
Not just slip through your open hands
Don’t turn cold when I let you in
I’ve been here, I know how it ends
Hearts can break when they’re given free
Only asking for honesty
Please don’t turn into memory
Every fear’s got a hold on me
(Breakdown)
Underneath all the melodies
Does it sound like you care for me?
Or am I just a passing phase
Nothing more than a few good days
**’**Cause I’m giving you everything
Trying hard not to overthink
But my guard’s hanging by a thread
Running wild with the things unsaid
Every second feels make or break
All I have is the chance I take
Keep it safe, don’t let it undo me
(Outro)
Maybe I said too much this time
Even silence can read between lines
