Reading Between the Lines

I’m reading between the lines
Of what you’re trying to say
It becomes harder and harder
Each and every day

I really should have known sooner
What you really meant
I regret acting so clueless
Because now are time is spent

Time after time
You have tried letting me know how you feel
And I just blew you off completely
Thinking it was no big deal

I wish you would have told me
How you really felt
I never had a single clue
That I made your heart melt

Maybe things would have been different
If somehow I could’ve known
Maybe it could have been better
If your feelings you would have shown

Sometimes I ask myself
How I could have been so darn stupid
It turns out it was so easy for me
There was almost nothing to it

And to this very day
I still try to read between the lines
Of what other people write and say
And try to look for all of the signs

I’m sorry it’s ending this way
I know we both must be sad
You can do whatever you want
Just please don’t be mad
