Almost Didn't


I almost said I liked you Almost thought you were kind Almost thought we might be able to wear matching shirts Almost thought you liked me Almost thought you cared Almost didn't realize the lies you all shared Almost kept being a 'friend' Almost didn't wanna be enemies Almost thought you felt bad when I ignored you like you ignored me Almost thought I'd be lonely Almost thought I was wrong Almost didn't realize how far I had come Almost didn't realize the friends that I made Almost didn't realize that I'm better without you
