Story Behind The Song
While sub teaching in school one day, I over heard two 8th grade girls talking. They were trashing a guy that one of them was going out with. The opening line in the song was taken directly from them, "Can't he read between lines here? I'm wasting all my time with him". I just tweaked it a little and took it from my own point of view...

Lyrics
READ BETWEEN THE LINES
I'M WASTING ALL MY TIME WITH YOU GIRL
I'VE HAD IT UP TO HERE
SO YOU BETTER STAY CLEAR OF ME
NO MORE WAITNG BY THE PHONE
DON'T WANT THE LOVE YOU SHOULD'VE SHOWN
NO TIME TO STOP AND WONDER WHY
I'M LEAVING SO JUST SAY GOODBYE
chorus:
I WON'T CRY, WON'T CRY
ANYMORE
NEVER GONNA TRY LIKE BEFORE
I WON'T CRY, WON'T CRY
ANYMORE
OVER YOU
I PROMISED MYSELF
TO LOVE SOMEBODY ELSE, NOT YOU GIRL
YOU TOOK ME TO THE LIMIT
BROKE MY HEART, FORGET IT WE'RE THROUGH
THIS TIME I'M GONNA PLAY IT SMART
NOBODY'S GONNA BREAK MY HEART
NO TIME TO STOP AND WONDER WHY
I'M LEAVING SO JUST SAY GOODBYE
[chorus, solo]
NO MORE WAITNG BY THE PHONE
DON'T WANT THE LOVE YOU SHOULD'VE SHOWN
NO TIME TO STOP AND WONDER WHY
I'M LEAVING SO JUST SAY GOODBYE
[chorus, repeat and fade]
