Almost Goodbye

There was rain on the street last night

We stood beneath the front door light

And everything we said we made sure the neighbors heard

You called me this, I called you that

Standing on the welcome mat

Everything we felt it all came down to just one word

But you couldn't say it and I couldn't say it

You know I tried my best to go

I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so

It should have been easy to say that we were through

But to walk away from love was more than we could do

It was almost goodbye

Almost goodbye

Now there was sun through the blinds this morning

When I opened up my eyes

Outside I could hear a mockingbird

And I could feel your heartbeat as you layed there by my side

I thought of how the world could end with just one word

But you didn't say it, and I didn't say it

You know I tried my best to go

I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so

It should have been easy to say that we were through

But to walk away from love was more than we could do

It was almost goodbye

Almost goodbye

Sometimes the most important words are the ones that you leave unspoken

You know I tried my best to go

And I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so

It should have been easy to say that we were through

But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do

It was almost goodbye

Almost goodbye, no, I couldn't say it was

Almost goodbye, oh oh

Almost goodbye.
