lirik lagu elvis costello - byline
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
the profile on a postage stamp
i traced it by my reading lamp
remembered when i’d sit in wait
then marked our parting from that date
i read by line by line by line
that old sarcastic valentine
that you denied you’d sent to me
then took it back
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”
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
