Before I turn the
page and leave the past behind
I would like to state my case and
reveal some thoughts of mine
May I say that losing you is
gonna be a heavy blow
But in your eyes they tell
me and they let me know
The look that said
you loved me is gone
I can read between the lines
when I call you never again
I can read between the lines as
I watch the end begin
Seems like the same old story,
cause life's an open book
One can say so many words,
but just a simple look
I can see that distant smile
upon your face
Whenever he walks out the door,
you wanna leave the place
And if you just can't seem
to tell me what's wrong
I want you to know I can read
between the lines
I'm prepared to walk away,
I can read, I can read it
Between the lines,
before you've had a chance to say
It's over, don't send me cards or letters,
I'd note some sympathy
For I grew stronger when I possessed
all the love that you gave to me
Now the time has come,
I don't have to run you down
Cause I've gotten myself together,
headed for the final countdown
I can read it, cause my heart tells me I can read it,
cause your eyes tell me
I can see the sign, I can see the sign
I can read between the lines,
oh don't you know
I can see between the lines
Listen honey,
don't send me no cards or letters
I know of sympathy
I grew strong when I possessed
All the love that you gave to me
But you can't seem to tell me
What is wrong
I can read, I can read
Between the lines
So it's plain for me to see
I can read
Between the lines
And I know you're leaving me
I can read, I can read it
I can see the sign
I can read
I read, I can read it
Before you turn and walk away
I can read
Oh yeah
I can read, I it
And I know what you're gonna say
I what you're gonna say
Oh no, baby
I can read
I can read, I can read it
Oh, I can see the sign
I can read, I can read, I can read it
I can read, I can read it
Oh, between the lines
