Verse
By the city streets
That night
Under those dim lights
Was when i
Tried to hide my face away from
Your piercing eyes
So i could
In a way
At least disguise
Conceal what i feel behind smiles
Cuz i dont wanna steal no more dear
I'd now like to be chosen
It's really nice to know
That you still enjoy the simplicity
In this kind of arrangement
Or maybe you do really miss this... Fool?
I had the chances to tell you so
That i do too
And so much more
But i chose not to
I can't let you know
I gotta let it go now
Chorus
Read between the lines
It's not the words i say
I didn't know that you had
This much sadness suppressed inside
If you didn't try to confide
Sentiments amplified by all this time you've been silenced
Maybe then you trusted me
More than you think you could ever trust me now
Plus you had to let it out
Or maybe you got them hints that i dream of us somehow...
It's really sweet of you
That you didn't buy the name he is sold
Instead you chose to love and to hold
The killer's soul he owns
He is known for
He got you bleeding?
Since when?
Doesn't know it?
No questions?
Hasn't noticed you're paler?
If only i had enough
It would've been different
Chorus
Read between the lines
It's not the words i say
Bridge
I can't let you know
I got to let it go
As if we could be more than this
He could buy you the city streets
All the sympathy
All the weed
Then i can no longer walk up here
I'd be shot dead
Then i can no longer see you again like this
I can't let you know
I got to let it go now
As if we could be more than this
He could buy you the city streets
All the sympathy
All the weed
Then i can no longer walk up here
I'd be shot dead
Then i can't see you again like this
Chorus
Read between the lines
It's not the words i say
