Almost Had Me (Desert Recording/Acoustic) Lyrics by Lights

Skin&Earth Acoustic

2019

[Verse 1]
You were my halogen, guiding me home
My only weapon when I was alone
You were a big city, one I got lost in
And when you spoke with me, I fell open
I fell open
[Pre-Chorus]
But did you know that cost when you broke your promise?
(I was unprepared)
That when your guns went off they would come down on us
[Chorus]
I was a knife in a gunfight
And I fought so madly
You were a wolf in the daylight
And you almost had me
You almost had me
[Verse 2]
I thought you were showing all your colours
But you were in sheep's clothing
The mind of another
Can a slave preach freedom?
Can a captive take hold of what they believe in?
[Pre-Chorus]
But did you know that cost when you broke your promise?
(I was unprepared)
That when your bombs went off they would come down on us
[Chorus]
I was a knife in a gunfight
And I fought so madly
You were a wolf in the daylight
And you almost had me
With a blindside
And it hurt so badly
You were a wolf in the daylight
And you almost had me
[Bridge]
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating
I'd never let you sink your teeth in
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating
I'd never let you sink your teeth in
[Breakdown]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
But did you know that cost when you broke your promise, promise?
That when your bombs went off they would come down on us, on us
[Outro]
I was a knife in a gunfight (Oh-oh-oh)
And I fought so madly (Oh-oh-oh)
You were a wolf in the daylight (Oh-oh-oh)
And you almost had me (Oh-oh-oh)
