First breath, last call Been running since I learned to crawl I couldn't win for losing so I gave up tryin' You came, you stayed I figured out how to drive you away Lately I only laugh to keep from cryin' So close, not quite Almost saw the light Darlin' don't think I didn't want to Hear me when I say Before you walk away I almost loved you, I almost loved you Bring on the pain If you want tears I can make it rain Make it easy to drift away down that river So close, not quite Almost saw the light Darlin' don't think I didn't want to Hear me when I say Before you walk away I almost loved you, I almost loved you I almost held you in my heart I almost didn't fall apart I almost made it almost all the way So close, not quite Almost saw the light Darlin' don't think I didn't want to Hear me when I say Before you walk away I wouldn't blame you if you can't stay But I almost loved you, almost loved you
