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're lettin' me know The look that said you love me is gone I can read between the lines When I call, you're never in 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 with just a simple look I can see that distant smile upon your face Whenever he walks out the door You wanna leave the place Now, 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 plan a chance to say: "It's over" Don't send me cards or letters or notes of sympathy For I grew stronger when I posessed all the love that you gave to me Now the time has come, and I don't have to run you down 'Cause I've got myself together, headed for the final countdown I can read it, 'cause my heart tells me I can read it, 'cause your arms are tellin' me I can see the signs 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 or notes of sympathy I grew strong when I posessed 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 signs I can read Before you turn and walk away I can read, oh yeah, between the lines And, I know what you're gonna say I can read, oh I can see the signs I can read, I can read, I can read it
