Between You And I
Every Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I said I was sorry?
The question wasn't meant to hurt
It was just my fear of losing you
And now you're filling
All the space that surrounds you
I'll soon be tucked away
Where you gave yourself to me
Where I gave myself to you
Maybe it's all for the best
But I just don't see any good in this, no
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place
And maybe it was wrong of me
To think I could keep you
And maybe it's the last few drinks
Taking over my mouth and all I've been thinking
I want you to know
That I am fine here without you
But I can't bring myself
To lie to you
And since we're being honest
I feel I should tell you
I've been filling up the empty space
Between you and I
Between you and I
She could never compare to you
Between you and I
I still keep your pictures underneath my bed
Where she gives herself to me
Where I give myself to you
Maybe it's all for the best
But I just don't see any good in this, no
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place, yes, yeah
Maybe it's all for the best
But I just don't see any good in this, no
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place
Yeah, the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place

Line by Line Meaning
Would you believe me
If I said I was sorry?
Asking if you could forgive me
For the mistake I made
The question wasn't meant to hurt
It was just my fear of losing you
I didn't intend to cause pain by asking
I was scared of losing you, so I acted impulsively
And now you're filling
All the space that surrounds you
I'll soon be tucked away
Underneath your bed
You're moving on and taking up all the space
I'll soon be forgotten and hidden away
Where you gave yourself to me
Where I gave myself to you
Reminiscing on the moments when we were intimate
Sharing a special bond
Maybe it's all for the best
But I just don't see any good in this, no
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place
Maybe breaking up was necessary, but it's hard to see why
Maybe we'll find new love, but the old memories still hold a special place
And maybe it was wrong of me
To think I could keep you
And maybe it's the last few drinks
Taking over my mouth and all I've been thinking
Maybe it was naive of me to think we could last
Maybe the alcohol is affecting my thoughts and words
I want you to know
That I am fine here without you
But I can't bring myself
To lie to you
I want to tell you that I'm okay on my own
But I can't lie to you, I miss you
And since we're being honest
I feel I should tell you
I've been filling up the empty space
Between you and I
Since we're being truthful, I need to confess
I've been trying to replace what we had
Between you and I
She could never compare to you
Between you and I
I still keep your pictures underneath my bed
Comparing the new person to you
I still hold onto the memories and pictures of us together
Yeah, the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place
The memories of the past love will always stay in our hearts
