Nice Try,Almost

Verse 1

You say you’re different, yeah I’ve heard it before

Same pretty words at my front door

You play it cool like you don’t really care

But I see you checking if I’m still there

Pre-Chorus

You talk like you’re the main event

But I’m not easily impressed

I like the chase, not desperation

Read the room, read the situation

Chorus

Nice try, almost, you were so close

But I don’t fall for boys who boast

I like my love a little bit clever

Keep me guessing, not forever

Nice smile, bad timing

You think I’m yours but I’m still deciding

So don’t act shocked if I say no

Nice try, almost

Verse 2

You text me “u up?” at 2 a.m.

Like that’s supposed to work on me again

I’m not cold, I just know my worth

I won’t shrink just to make you feel first

Pre-Chorus

You say I’m hard to understand

No, I just don’t hold your hand

Through every mess you make alone

I like my peace, I like my throne

Chorus

Nice try, almost, you were so close

But I don’t fall for boys who boast

I like my love a little bit clever

Keep me guessing, not forever

Nice smile, bad timing

You think I’m yours but I’m still deciding

So don’t act shocked if I say no

Nice try, almost

Bridge

Maybe if you slowed it down

Stopped acting like you run this town

I might’ve stayed another night

But confidence and ego don’t rhyme

Break

I’m sweet, not simple

Cute, not clueless

If you want me, prove it

Final Chorus

Nice try, almost, you were so close

But I don’t fall for boys who boast

I like my love a little bit clever

Keep me laughing, keep it better

Nice smile, wrong approach

I’m not a prize, I’m the goal

So don’t act shocked if I let you go

Nice try… almost

Outro

Yeah, you almost had me

Almost’s not enough
