Almost Goodbye

There was rain

On the street last night

We stood beneath

The front door light

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 at 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've 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've 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 tried

My best to go and

I know you cried

'Cause I hurt you so

It should've 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
