Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here, and she's almost you
Almost all the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers, too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue
[Bridge]
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
[Verse 2]
Almost blue
It's almost touching, it will almost do
There's a part of me that's always true, always
Not all good things come to an end, now it is only a chosen few
I have seen such an unhappy couple
Almost me
Almost you
Almost blue
