Between the Lines is a slow, emotive song delving into the complexities of a situationship where one person leads another on, only to withdraw when things start to become real. The lyrics capture the frustration, sadness, and anger that accompany falling for someone who never fully commits, painting a vivid picture of heartbreak from something that was never truly meant to be.
Verse 1:
You said it was just for fun,
No strings attached, no need to run,
But every word you whispered soft,
Made me feel like I was caught.
Pre-Chorus:
You’d pull me close, then push away,
A game of hearts, you’d make me play,
I was losing count of all the lies,
Flickering hope behind your eyes.
Chorus:
But you’re just a ghost, in the late-night glow,
A bittersweet memory, only I seem to know,
How could you break me with a touch so light,
When I thought you’d hold me through the night?
Verse 2:
You’d text me words that felt like dreams,
But waking up was never what it seems,
Distant now, you’re off the radar,
Tracing shadows instead of stars.
Pre-Chorus:
Hold on tight, but then you slide,
A wishful longing, I can’t abide,
You held my heart so carelessly,
A fleeting spark, it’s killing me.
Chorus:
But you’re just a ghost, in the late-night glow,
A bittersweet memory, only I seem to know,
How could you break me with a touch so light,
When I thought you’d hold me through the night?
Bridge:
You painted dreams with half-hearted strokes,
Left me tangled in the words you spoke,
Said from the start you wanted none,
Yet here I am, with nowhere to run.
Chorus:
But you’re just a ghost, in the late-night glow,
A bittersweet memory, only I seem to know,
How could you break me with a touch so light,
When I thought you’d hold me through the night?
Outro:
So here’s to the days I spent on your line,
Hoping and wishing you’d finally be mine,
But you’re just a ghost, forever to fade,
And I’ll piece together the heartbreak you made.

Write a slow, sad, yet passionate and angry song about the complicated mess being in a situation ship is. Aka talking to someone who breadcrumbs you and leads you on but then randomly distances themself when things get more intimate, and having your heart broken by someone who was never even actually yours, even tho they said from the start that they didn’t want anything serious. But they were the one who initiated and started the situationship.
