**[Verse 1]** One ran marathons And read in bed Had a movie-star smile And knew how to dress Had the kind of apartment Girls send in the chat Then he said, “My ex is my best friend” "You fine with that?" One was older But knew all my friends Had every girl listen When he leaned in Had the kind of job That makes moms relax Then he said, “I’m not looking To get attached” **[Pre-Chorus]** They check every box without trying Like it’s nothing to be that good And right when I start to believe it Something slips like I knew it would **[Chorus]** (Ooh, ooh, ooh) It’s going so well I almost trust it (almost trust it) He says my name Like he knows what it does (what it does) I’m laughing too loud In the back of the bar (back of the bar) Thinking maybe this is How it feels when it starts Then there it is There it is There it is That one little catch In the middle of it There it is (there it is) There it is There it is He had me almost sold Then he ruins it **[Verse 2]** One was scary smart But not in a loud way Was calm in every room Like he knew he’d be okay He asked the right questions He remembered what I said But he never made me laugh So I made myself instead One had the body And the hair and the charm Knew how to calm me down Then pull me back in Said he loved me Like it meant we were safe Then he wouldn’t move an inch When I asked him to change **[Pre-Chorus]** They check every box without trying Like they know how good it looks And right when I let myself want it There’s a line I overlooked **[Chorus]** (Ooh, ooh, ooh) It’s going so well I almost trust it (almost trust it) He says my name Like he knows what it does (what it does) I’m laughing too loud In the back of the bar (back of the bar) Thinking maybe this is How it feels when it starts Then there it is There it is There it is That one little catch In the middle of it There it is (there it is) There it is There it is He had me almost sold Then he ruins it **[Bridge]** Too short, too soft Too young, too serious Too into himself Too mysterious No place, no plan Too far away Too French about it Too scared to stay Too shy, too mothered Not funny enough Too good on paper Too bad at love A girlfriend in public A secret whatever One won’t commit One won’t get better One loves my body Till I speak my mind God forbid there’s one Without the catch **[Final Chorus]** (Ooh, ooh, ooh) It’s going so well I almost trust it (almost trust it) He says my name Like he knows what it does (what it does) I’m laughing too loud In the back of the bar (back of the bar) Thinking maybe this is How it feels when it starts Then there it is There it is There it is That one little catch In the middle of it There it is (there it is) There it is There it is He had me almost sold Then he ruins it **[Outro]** There it is There it is There it is I almost trust it Then he ruins it
