I almost told you I turned around [piano enters softly] and then I remembered you're not there anymore I almost told you I turned around and then I remembered you're not there anymore [Verse 1] Something funny happened on a Tuesday afternoon the kind of thing that's only funny if you tell the right person So I laughed and I turned and my mouth was already open And then I remembered And the laugh just stopped somewhere in my chest like it had nowhere to go [Chorus] I almost told you I turned around and then I remembered you're not there anymore I keep doing that I keep turning around I keep opening my mouth for someone who isn't there I almost told you I almost told you I almost told you every single day I almost told you [Verse 2] I heard a song last week that you would have loved I sat with it for an hour just furious that I couldn't show you I still think in your direction like my mind never got the update like somewhere in the back of it you're still just in the other room Just busy just away just about to walk back in I know you're not I know that I know every version of that But knowing doesn't stop the turning knowing doesn't close my mouth knowing doesn't do a single thing At 2pm on a Tuesday when something's funny and you're the only one who would have got it [Chorus] I almost told you I turned around and then I remembered you're not there anymore I keep doing that I keep turning around I keep opening my mouth for someone who isn't there I almost told you I almost told you I almost told you every single day I almost told you [Bridge — sub enters, pads swell, vocal breaks] I saved so many things for you jokes songs stupid little screenshots Moments that were only good because you were going to hear them They just sit there now in the part of me that still thinks you're coming back I heard something funny today and I turned around and you weren't there And I just stood in my kitchen holding it like an idiot Just standing there holding a moment with nowhere to put it I'm so fucking tired of turning around I'm so fucking tired of remembering [Final Chorus — piano only, voice barely there] I almost told you I turned around and then I remembered you're not there anymore I almost told you I turned around and then I remembered you're not there anymore Someday I won't turn around someday something funny will happen and I'll just laugh and let it go Someday But not today not Tuesday not yet [Outro — almost whispered] I almost told you I almost told you I almost told you Not today not Tuesday not yet
