Between the Lines

Verse 1

We joke, we tease, we play it light

Like it’s just words in the middle of the night

You hide behind that laughing tone

But I can hear what you don’t say in your phone

Every pause, every “haha” reply

Feels like sparks you try to deny

You talk about nothing, safe and small

But your silence says the most of all

Pre-Chorus

We’re dancing round it, step by step

Both pretending we’re not there yet

Chorus

It’s not in what you say

It’s in the space you leave

In every little delay

In the way you breathe

We’re talking between the lines

Where the real things hide

Your voice stays cool and calm

But your heart don’t lie

Verse 2

You turn it into jokes and frames

Talking ’bout formats, angles, names

But you watched it close, I know you did

You just smile instead of admitting it

We build this fire quietly

Like we’re scared of what it might be

So we flirt in half, not all the way

But tension never fades

Pre-Chorus

So close to truth, but still we play

Like one more step might give us away

Chorus

It’s not in what you say

It’s in the space you leave

In every little delay

In the way you breathe

We’re talking between the lines

Where the real things hide

Your voice stays cool and calm

But your heart don’t lie

Bridge

If I reached just a little more

Would you meet me at that door?

Or keep hiding in the game

Calling feelings by another name

Final Chorus (softer, emotional)

It’s in the way you look away

When things get too real

In every joke you use

To hide what you feel

We’re walking that thin line

Between wrong and right

Acting like it’s just fun

But it keeps us up at night
