V5.5

[Spoken intro - female, dry] So… you showed up. again. okay. [Verse 1 - female, casual and cold] You've got that face that people trust That soft apology wrapped in dust You rehearsed this, didn't you I can tell by the pause before "I love you" You do this thing with your eyes Where you look like you mean it …you don't mean it. [Pre-Chorus - female, almost amused] I gave you three chances three is generous, honestly most people get one you got three because I was bored and you were almost… something [Chorus - female sharp + male screamer cuts in] You were almost worth it almost, almost close but not quite You were almost dangerous almost, almost — [male screamer] NOT EVEN CLOSE — You had one job just be real for five minutes you couldn't even do that almost interesting almost. [Verse 2 - female, half-laughing] You left a hoodie here on purpose I know that trick, I invented that trick I put it in a bag outside the door …with your dignity …you're welcome You called it complicated honey, complicated is interesting you're just… inconvenient [Pre-Chorus - female] I don't do angry anymore angry means you mattered let's not give you that let's not. [Chorus - female + male screamer] You were almost worth it almost, almost close but not quite You were almost dangerous almost, almost — [male screamer] NOT EVEN CLOSE — You had one job just be real for five minutes you couldn't even do that almost interesting almost. [Bridge - female, spoken over slow guitar] Here's the thing nobody tells you about people like you — you're very good at the beginning the texts at 2am the "I've never felt this with anyone" the eyes god, the eyes but then the middle comes and the middle is where you actually have to show up and you… you don't show up. [Bridge - male screamer, sudden explosion] YOU PRACTICED EVERY LINE YOU FAKED EVERY SIGN YOU BUILT A VERSION OF YOURSELF THAT COULDN'T LAST THE NIGHT AND THE WORST PART THE ABSOLUTE WORST PART IS YOU BELIEVED IT TOO [Back to female, quiet and final] That's actually kind of sad. …almost. [Final Chorus - both, full] You were almost worth it almost, almost close but not quite You were almost someone almost, almost — [male screamer] ALMOST — You had everything just needed to be honest you couldn't even do that [Outro - female, dry whisper] Almost. …delete my number. thanks.
