"Almost Loved You" lyrics

I've never felt so damn exposed
It's like you held me up just to let me go
And I heard you're fine
And that's alright
But the hardest part about this is you won't say goodbye

I tried my best to hold my breath
Turns out I was right to second guess

You gave your word
And made a promise
And wrapped 'em in a lie
And I said it didn't hurt
But if I'm being honest
The closer we got
The further I fell
So close, I almost loved you

I wish you knew the words you say
Are more than what my heart should ever take
I wish you never knew my name
Wish you could take back what you gave
Then maybe I'd be okay

You gave your word
And made a promise
And wrapped 'em in a lie
And I said it didn't hurt
But if I'm being honest
The closer we got
The further I fell
So close, I almost loved you

I tried my best to hold my breath
Turns out I was right to second guess

You gave your word
And made a promise
And wrapped 'em in a lie
And I said it didn't hurt
But if I'm being honest
The closer we got
The further I fell
So close, I almost loved you
And sometimes I still want to
