For you.

Between the Lines
Sara Bareilles

Time to tell me the truth.
To burden your mouth for what you say.
No pieces of paper in the way.
’Cause I can’t continue pretending to choose,
These opposite sides on which we fall.
The loving you laters, if at all.

No right minds could wrong be this many times.
My memory is cruel.
I’m queen of attention to details,
Defending intentions if he fails.
Until now, he told me her name.
It sounded familiar in a way.
I could have sworn I’d heard him say it ten thousand times.
Oh, if only I had been listening.

Leave unsaid unspoken,
Eyes wide shut unopened.
You and me,
Always between the lines.
Between the lines.

I thought I, I thought I was ready to bleed.
That we’d move from the shadows on the wall,
And stand in the center of it all.
Too late two choices to stay or to leave.
Mine was so easy to uncover.
He’d already left with the other.
So I’ve learned to listen through silence.

Leave unsaid unspoken,
Eyes wide shut unopened.
You and me,
Always be,
You and me always be.

I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say.
I’ll talk until the conversation doesn’t stay on.
Wait for me I’m almost ready.
When he meant let go.

Leave unsaid unspoken,
Eyes wide shut unopened.
You and me,
Always be.
You and me,
Always between the lines.

really, who wants tea and sympathy?

Pretending To Care
Todd Rundgren

Today I am your chariot horse;
Tomorrow I'm your albatross,
Suspended by the finest thread,
No one could ever see.

And when there's breathing in your ear,
You put your faith in all you hear.
But just how deep those feelings go,
I have no way to know;
I'll never know.

If I was blind,
Would you still be my eyes,
Or hide everything you see?
Pretending to care about me,
When all the time
You're just wishing I'd fade away.
You can't bring yourself

To say out loud the reasons why.
You won't admit you realize
The promise you've been living by
Is just an empty shell.

You'll come to bear it like a cross,
Then start to tear it like frayed gauze;
Though i'm ashamed to be afraid,
I just can't help myself...
Can't help myself.

If I was blind,
Would you still be my eyes,
Or hide everything you see?
Pretending to care about me,
When all the time
You're just wishing I'd fade away.
You can't bring yourself

To care about me, oh
Would you hide everything you see?
Pretending to care about me,
Oh, don't leave me, darling!
Would you hide everything you see?
Pretending to care about me,
When all the time
You're just wishing I'd fade away.
