I Almost Believed You

You said it so easy I almost let it land Changed one little detail Then another Till I couldn’t tell Where your story ended And mine began I watched you say it Like you’d said it before And for a second I questioned everything That’s the part That stays with me Not what you said How close I came To believing it I almost believed you Almost gave you my truth Almost let your version Become mine too I almost believed you That’s what cuts the deepest Not that you lied That I nearly Stopped believing me You never had to raise your voice You just stayed certain Made me feel like doubt Was something I invented And I kept going back Through every detail Trying to find the moment Where I got it wrong But I didn’t That’s the part That stays with me Not what you said How close I came To believing it I almost believed you Almost gave you my truth Almost let your version Become mine too I almost believed you That’s what cuts the deepest Not that you lied That I nearly Stopped believing me Now I know Confidence Can sound like truth Repetition Can sound like proof And love can make you Question yourself Before you question The person hurting you I almost believed you But something in me knew Even when I doubted What I lived through I almost believed you And maybe that’s the scar Not what you convinced me of How close You got
