[Verse 1]

I bet this time of night, you're still up

I bet you’re tired from a long, hard week

I bet you’re sittin' in your chair by the window

Looking out at the city, and I bet

Sometimes, you wonder 'bout me


[Chorus]

And I just wanna tell you

It takes everything in me not to call you

And I wish I could run to you

And I hope you know that

Every time I don't, I almost do, I almost do


[Verse 2]

I bet you think I either moved on or hate you

'Cause each time you reach out, there’s no reply

I bet it never, ever occurred to you

That I can't say hello to you and risk another goodbye


[Chorus]

And I just wanna tell you

It takes everything in me not to call you

And I wish I could run to you

And I hope you know that

Every time I don't, I almost do, I almost do


[Bridge]

Oh, we made quite a mess, babe

It’s probably better off this way

And I confess, babe

In my dreams, you’re touching my face

And asking me if I want to try again with you

And I almost do


[Chorus]

And I just wanna tell you

It takes everything in me not to call you

And I wish I could run to you

And I hope you know that

Every time I don't, I almost do, I almost do


[Outro]

I bet this time of night, you’re still up

I bet you’re tired from a long, hard week

I bet you’re sittin' in your chair by the window

Looking out at the city, and I hope

Sometimes, you wonder 'bout me
