  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    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 wanna try again with you
    And I almost do

    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
    Uh-uh-uh

    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 Writer/s: Taylor Alison Swift
