Come on, boy
Read between the lines
Don't believe me
When I say" I'm fine"

Don't you see the expression on my face?
Don't you see my sad grimace?
Everything has a time and place,
Don't let you and me go to waste

Treasure each moment, 
Take it all together
I'll fight and torment
Through any type of weather

There's a meaning behind my smile
There's a reason behind my laugh
You dance in joy, while
I dry the tears my eyes have

You dance in ecstasy
Living in a fantasy 
Don't you see my broken spirit,
Don't you notice the falling rivet, 
Holding up the bridge of my lies,
Seeing it crumble under the weight,
The weight of my loose ties
But you figure it out too late

Don't you see the expression on my face?
Don't you see my sad grimace?
Everything has a time and place,
Don't let you and me go to waste

But you do, you do, you do
You take it all in stride
Forgetting I even exist
Thinking everything's all right
Checking it off down the list

Read between the lines, boy, then you'll see the truth
Realize what's going on, you'll see my problems 
Pretend you never hurt me
Pretend you never betrayed me
Pretend that everything's all right
Like I didn't see you and her 

Boy, you're a cheating liar
A nasty sneak, a wild pretender 
Why don't you try to 

Read between the lines...

Oh, oh, yeah
