I didn't know, we were dancing on a rug
You were waiting to pull out from under us
Just when you gained my trust
I should've known, on the nights I couldn't sleep
And you'd kiss the tears from running down my cheek
That you weren't mine to keep
I held onto you like I'm holding my breath
The sword in my hip, baby, it's double-edged
And it got too hard for me tryna pretend
That I'm not falling in...
I almost said I love you, love you
Was so close to so right, didn't want to lose you
Lying in your bed, I was knocking on a locked door
If I said what's in my head, may be it would've changed yours
I almost said I love you, now I can't anymore
I gave you control, took the wheel right from my hand
And we swerved and flipped, and burned until we crashed
It all happened so fast
I'm retracing my steps, and I keep looking back
I'm losing myself, holding onto the past
If we aren't meant to be, how come I'm still attached?
It's still sinking in...
I almost said I love you, love you
Was so close to so right, didn't want to lose you
Lying in your bed, I was knocking on a locked door
If I said what's in my head, may be it would've changed yours
I almost said I love you, now I can't anymore
Now I can't anymore
(I almost said I) betcha never fallen for a poet before
(I almost said I love you) thought we'd be the ones, that could've weathered the storm
(I almost said I love you) could've, should've, would've, now we can't anymore
(I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you) now we can't anymore
I love you
