Verse 1 A little girl is crying Somewhere between the milk and bread. Her mother keeps on smiling, Though she's breaking down instead. She whispers, "Please, just listen." The little girl screams, "No." Three strangers stop their shopping Like they've seen enough to know. One sigh. One raised eyebrow. One quiet shake of the head. The verdict starts to travel Before a word is said. Pre-Chorus People pass each other Seconds at a time. The story writes itself Before they tell us why. Chorus We never meet the whole story. Just glimpses of everyday life. We never read the pages. We just write between the lines. One moment becomes forever In someone else's eyes. Verse 2 A man steps out the hospital. He leans against the wall. He lights another cigarette Before he makes the call. Someone walking past him Mutters, "Some never learn." No one sees the paper Folded in his trembling hands. One sigh. One raised eyebrow. One quiet shake of the head. The verdict starts to travel Before a word is said. Pre-Chorus People pass each other Seconds at a time. The story writes itself Before they tell us why. Chorus We never meet the whole story. Just glimpses of everyday life. We never read the pages. We just write between the lines. One moment becomes forever In someone else's eyes. Bridge I remember one evening Filling in the blanks. I was so sure I knew What I saw. But every stranger Carries chapters I can't see. Every story Is bigger than it seems. Final Chorus We never meet the whole story. Just glimpses of everyday life. We never read the pages. We just write between the lines. One moment becomes forever In someone else's eyes. Maybe that's the story We never realize.
