Almost Gone

[Verse 1] Your name came up at half past one I let it ring, then picked it up You said, “I know it’s late, I’m sorry” Then asked me how I’d really been I meant to keep it short and simple Twenty minutes turned to two [Chorus] You always call when I’m almost gone When I’ve stopped checking my phone You say, “I miss you” like it’s easy And I forget what it cost before I was almost gone Then there you are [Verse 2] You know exactly when to soften When I’m finally getting mad You’ll say the thing I used to wait for Then you’re gone for days again I hate how fast I start forgiving When you’ve barely changed at all [Chorus] You always call when I’m almost gone When I’ve stopped checking my phone You say, “I miss you” like it’s easy And I forget what it cost before I was almost gone Then there you are [Instrumental – clean guitar motif] [Bridge] I know what happens when I answer I know how this one usually ends We talk like nothing ever broke us Then I lose a week again [Final Chorus] You called again when I was almost gone I watched your name light up my phone For once I didn’t need to hear you I turned it face down, let it go I was almost gone This time I stayed gone [Instrumental ending]
