Almost

It all started so innocently
Won't you come in for just a few weeks
Won't you feel better if you see this through
There's no one else we trust like we trust you

This will be simple, I thought, this will be quick
Just a little clean up, oh I'll have it licked
I guess a smarter man would have known
There was no way I could ever let it go

Oh, I almost made my escape
I almost got away
But just when the sun hit my skin
My old life sucked me back in

So hard to quit when you're good at the game
Nothing else makes you feel quite the same
Weeks turned to months and months to years
Pride became power and power became fear

Oh, I almost made my escape
I almost got away
But just when the sun hit my skin
My old life sucked me back in

One day you find you no longer believe
You don't want to stay but somehow you can't leave
Passion calls gently you often ignore
Stuck inside something that's no longer yours

Oh, I almost made my escape
I almost got away
But just when the sun hit my skin
My old life sucked me back in
My old life sucked me back in
My old life sucked me back in
