I Almost Do

I bet this time of night you're still up

I bet you're tired from a long, hard week

I bet you're sitting in your chair by the window

Looking out at the city, and I bet

Sometimes you wonder 'bout me

And I just want to tell you

It takes everything in me

Not to call you

And I wish I could run to you

And I hope you know that

Every time I don't, I almost do

I almost do

I bet you think I either moved on or hate you

'Cause each time you reach out, there's no reply

I bet it never, ever occurred to you

That I can't say hello to you and risk another goodbye

And I just want to tell you

It takes everything in me

Not to call you

And I wish I could run to you

And I hope you know that

Every time I don't, I almost do

I almost do

Oh, we made quite a mess, babe

It's probably better off this way

And I confess, baby

In my dreams you're touching my face

And asking me if I'd want to try again with you

And I almost do

And I just want to tell you

It takes everything in me

Not to call you

And I wish I could run to you

And I hope you know that

Every time I don't, I almost do

I almost do

I bet this time of night you're still up

I bet you're tired from a long, hard week

I bet you're sitting in your chair by the window

Looking out at the city, and I hope

Sometimes you wonder about me
