Almost Loved You

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
