there was rain on the street last night
stood beneath the front door light
everything we say 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 and i couldn't say
you know i tried my best to go away
i know you cried cause i hurt you so
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
there was sun through the blinds this morning
when i opened up my eyes outside
i could hear a mockingbird
i could feel your heartbeat
as you lay there by my side
thought of how the world could end with just one word
you didn't say not insane
you know i try my best to go
i know you cry 'cause i hurt you so
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
it was almost goodbye
sometimes the most important words
are the ones that you leave unspoken
you know i try my best to go away
i know you cry cause i hurt you so
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 almost goodbye
