Between the Lines by Homemade Shine
Between the Lines
[Verse 1 Male]
I said I’m fine, I’m doing okay
Just working late, I’ll be home someday
I told you it’s nothing, just a little stress
I smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing less”
[Verse 1 Female]
I know you’re hurting, I see it in your eyes
You hide the truth behind those alibis
You say you’re fine, but I hear the pain
I hear every word you’re afraid to explain
[Pre-Chorus Both]
Male: I keep my distance, try to stay strong
Female: I hear the cracks in every song
[Chorus Both]
We’re saying one thing, meaning another
Hiding the truth from each other
You say goodbye, I hear “please stay”
We talk around what we can’t say
Between the lines, our hearts collide
What we say and what we hide
[Verse 2 Male]
I said it’s easier to let it go
That feelings fade, just take it slow
I told you I’m fine, don’t hold me back
Pretending the pain is a paper track
[Verse 2 Female]
I see the walls you build so high
I hear the silence, the unspoken why
You say it’s nothing, but I feel the storm
I know the truth that you can’t transform
[Pre-Chorus Both]
Male: I speak in shadows, careful and small
Female: I catch every hint behind the wall
[Chorus Both]
We’re saying one thing, meaning another
Hiding the truth from each other
You say goodbye, I hear “please stay”
We talk around what we can’t say
Between the lines, our hearts collide
What we say and what we hide
[Bridge Female]
If you’d just show me what you feel
We wouldn’t need the walls to seal
[Bridge Male]
If I could speak without the fear
Would you be closer, would you be near
[Final Chorus Both]
We’re saying one thing, meaning another
Hiding the truth from each other
You say goodbye, I hear “please stay”
We talk around what we can’t say
Between the lines, our hearts collide
What we say and what we hide
