Lyricist: Monique Jordan

When I wrote these lyrics, I wanted to capture the power of “giving grace, not slack.” It’s about seeing the act for what it is and choosing peace over reaction. Her silence isn’t a sign of confusion—it’s a sign that she is giving time time while refusing to be moved from her center.

I focused on the phrase “I give grace, not slack.” This song is a reminder that you can be kind and understanding of someone’s struggle to express themselves without allowing their confusion to become your own.

“Between the Lines” explores the complex dynamics of a relationship stalled by emotional hesitation and gaslighting. It’s a song for anyone who has had to navigate the “hot and cold” behavior of a partner or friend. It highlights the power of maintaining your peace and standing your ground, proving that silence is a position of strength, not a lack of understanding.
