Your words were bitter
Full of poison and they stung,
It is no wonder boy that I packed and run.
Troubled and miles from home,
Hoped you might beg me to stay,
Instead, pushed me  further away,
I Can't take it that way,
I Won't take it that way,
Not another day.

(chorus)
I almost came home today,
Then I went the other way,
Don't know for how long
Don't need this damn telephone;
The words that already said
Just making the part of me dead;
Can't go back again,
I almost came home today.

With my troubled mind 
And many miles from home,
Broken wings, shattered heart, 
cold and all alone.
Talking is the dangerous thing
Between me and you;
Tired of the angry fights
And all the wasted nights,
We're through and I don't know what to do

(chorus)
I almost came home today
Then I went the other way,
Don't know for how long
Don't need this damn telephone;
The words that already said
Just making the part of me dead;
Can't go back again,
I almost came home today.

(bridge)
I was up again all night,
Can't hardly see,
I can't hardly write,
Where will I go from here,
As I try to drown my fear;
I pick myself up,
That was pretty hard,
But I'm ready to move on,
To take that damn telephone
And call you again
That I am coming back home.

(chorus)
I almost came home today
Then I went the other way,
Don't know for how long
Don't need this damn telephone;
The words that already said
Just making the part of me dead;
Can't go back again,
I almost came home today
I almost came home today
Can't go back again,
I almost came home today
I almost came home today
Can't go back again,
I almost came home today.
