I Almost Do Lyrics

Cover art for I Almost Do lyrics by Taylor Swift

I think this song is about someone who truly broke your heart. You have every detail memorized about that person, from what they do when they're home. And I think it's about just wishing you could call them, but something stops you. I think what stops her is because that person hurt her so bad, she doesn't want to put herself in that position again.

The guy keeps trying to reach out to her, and it takes everything she has not to reply. But she has to keep her distance because she doesn't want to end up hurt again.

She has dreams about being with that person again, and she almost wants those dreams to come true. What stops her from making those dreams become a reality is that the guy hurt her bad enough that she couldn't risk saying another goodbye.
