[Verse 1]
You showed up late
Same old story
Same old face
I almost bit
On every pretty little phrase
You brushed my hand
I felt the floor begin to shake
Then I remembered
Every promise that you break
[Pre-Chorus]
You almost had me
Spinning in your orbit
Falling fast
I leaned in
Then I saw your past
You almost had me
Writing out my name in all your plans
I pulled back
Slipped it from your hands
[Chorus]
I almost cared
Almost let you in my head
Almost wrote you
In the space beside my bed
I almost stayed
On the edge of your attack
But every time my heart said "go"
I took it back
I took it back
(I took it back, yeah)
[Verse 2]
You said "don't think"
Tried to drown me in your eyes
You poured the charm
Thicker than the summer night
I felt the spark
Then I felt my body freeze
'Cause I remember
What it costs to try to please
[Pre-Chorus]
You almost had me
Dancing in the middle of your mess
I stepped close
Stopped at second guess
You almost had me
Breaking all the rules I ever had
I turned quick
Left you in the past
[Chorus]
I almost cared
Almost let you in my head
Almost wrote you
In the space beside my bed
I almost stayed
On the edge of your attack
But every time my heart said "go"
I took it back
I took it back
(I took it back, hey)
I almost cared
Felt the rush and then the crack
You almost got my everything
I took it back
I took it back
[Bridge]
So close
So close
You were at the door
One breath
One step
You were on the floor
So close
So close
Thought I'd lose my track
One word
One laugh
Then I snapped
[Chorus]
I almost cared
Almost let you in my head
Almost wrote you
In the space beside my bed
I almost stayed
On the edge of your attack
But every time my heart said "go"
I took it back
I took it back
I almost cared
But I like my heart intact
You almost got my everything
I took it back
I took it back
