Attempts to read between the  lines Can be painful and it’s true That one must first ensure What they interpret Is what is meant by you The next time you get your feelings hurt By what you thought you read Make sure you read the lines themselves And understand what is said So many misunderstandings And arguments that ensue Are caused by not understanding What is said to you Listen closely truth is silent Let the silence speak to you But remember to listen carefully To what is being said too
