[Verse 1]
I read by line by line by line
Some words of yours, some words of mine
Some sentiments are best forgot
Some letters read then folded shut
[Verse 2]
The profile on the postage stamp
I traced it by my reading lamp
Remembered when I'd sit in wait
Then marked our parting from that date
[Verse 3]
I read by line by line by line
That old sarcastic Valentine
That you denied you'd sent to me
Then took it back
[Bridge]
It's a thought that we shared, a careless phrase
A curse or a joke, some words of praise
But I didn't write, did you wonder why?
It was the easiest way to say "Goodbye"
[Verse 4]
You'll see my photo beside the article
"That's just some guy I used to know
I was never his, he was always mine
But I wrote him off by line by line"
By line by line by line by line
By line by line by line by line
I read by line by line by line
Some words of yours, some words of mine
Some sentiments are best forgot
Some letters read then folded shut
[Verse 2]
The profile on the postage stamp
I traced it by my reading lamp
Remembered when I'd sit in wait
Then marked our parting from that date
[Verse 3]
I read by line by line by line
That old sarcastic Valentine
That you denied you'd sent to me
Then took it back
[Bridge]
It's a thought that we shared, a careless phrase
A curse or a joke, some words of praise
But I didn't write, did you wonder why?
It was the easiest way to say "Goodbye"
[Verse 4]
You'll see my photo beside the article
"That's just some guy I used to know
I was never his, he was always mine
But I wrote him off by line by line"
By line by line by line by line
By line by line by line by line
