[Verse 1] I see you in the doorway of the coffee shop I go to You pretend to check your phone, then you turn around You joined my book club Thursday, sat three chairs behind me Your cologne still finds me even in a crowd [Pre-Chorus] My friends say "Girl, you're staring," I say "No, I'm not" They laugh because they know me better than I thought [Chorus] You're almost back to me, but not quite close enough Standing in the same room, drowning in the space between us I still taste the lie you fed me, still feel the knife you left So I'll keep pretending I don't see you trying Keep pretending I'm not dying You're almost back to me, but almost isn't love [Verse 2] You signed up for my yoga class, you hate yoga I watched you struggle through downward dog last week She left you too, I heard it through the grapevine Now you're learning all the hard things that I had to learn alone [Pre-Chorus] You open up your mouth but nothing ever comes I guess guilt is heavier than what we were [Chorus] You're almost back to me, but not quite close enough Standing in the same room, drowning in the space between us I still taste the lie you fed me, still feel the knife you left So I'll keep pretending I don't see you trying Keep pretending I'm not dying You're almost back to me, but almost isn't love [Bridge] And God, I want to let you in My heart's a traitor to my skin Every time you walk away, I memorize your shoulders But wanting you and trusting you are different kinds of pain And I've already bled enough to know the difference now [Chorus] You're almost back to me, but not quite close enough Standing in the same room, suffocating in the space between us I still taste the lie you fed me, still wear the scars you left So I'll keep pretending I don't see you trying Keep pretending I'm not crying You're almost back to me, but almost isn't love [Outro] You're in the parking lot again I see you see me through the glass Almost isn't love Almost never lasts
