Between The Lines

from The Black Swan by Zaimah Beloved

/

about

I wrote this song nearly 10 years ago. It was written by someone who I am no longer. Whom I could never be, since it requires a great deal of fear and a harsh judgement of oneself. But I felt it deserved to be heard. Its a painful experience to have someone good, and yet, they are not good for you. Between the lines represents the conflict between what we tell ourselves about love, and the actual love we feel. And I've learned that love will be weak, and it will be strong, but it is always worth fighting for, and growing for.

lyrics

You hear exactly what I'm sayin
But can you hear my heart?
You see the face that I'm makin'
But can you see the other part (of me)
That I just can't show (you see)
Because it hurts so bad to know
That the pain you will, eventually feel
Will be caused by me
I just wanna hold my breath
Until the pain has left
Cause I'm so tired
Everyday
Now, I'm hoping you will hear what
I just can't say

Can (my) you (heart) read (says) between (no) the lines.
Can (I) you (just) read (can't) between (show) the lines.
Can (I) you (want)) read (to) between (go) the lines.

Do, do, do, do you know that what I'm sayin
Only shows one part
Look at what my body is displayin
And you'll see whats inside my heart
I just can't show
You see it hurts too bad to know that
The pain I feel eventually will tear me apart so
I try, to forget about my heart and decide
To label it a lie
And in time I find, I'm living a lie
And I deny, and thats why I cry

Can (my) you (heart) read (says) between (no) the lines.
Can (I) you (just) read (can't) between (show) the lines.
Can (I) you (want)) read (to) between (go) the lines.

Listen baby
Don't hear, when I say I'm fine
Don't hear when I say I'm alright
Don't hear when I say no not this time
Come on baby, just read between the lines

Can (my) you (heart) see
Read between the Lines
Can (my) you (heart) see
Read between the Lines
I'm staying here, just for you

That I, have been here for so long
But just like a baby bird
Its time for me to
Flyyyy
