Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'd like to say we gave it a try
I'd like to blame it all on life
Maybe we just weren't right
But that's a lie
That's a lie
[PreChorus]
And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time, our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is, everyone knows
[Chorus]
Almost, almost is never enough
So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms
And we almost
We almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough
[Verse 2]
If I could change the world overnight
There'd be no such thing as goodbye
You'd be standing right where you were
And we'd get the chance we deserve, oh
[PreChorus]
Try to deny it as much as you want
But in time, our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is, everyone knows
[Chorus]
Almost, almost is never enough
Were so close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you, oh
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms
Right here in each other's arms
And we almost
Almost
We almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough
[Bridge]
Oh, baby
You know
You know, baby
Almost
Baby, baby, baby
Is never enough, baby
You know
[PreChorus]
And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time, our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth, is everyone knows, babe
Truth is
[Chorus]
Oh, almost
Oh, almost, almost is never enough
It's never enough, babe
We were close to being in love
So close to being in love
So close
If I would have known that you wanted me
That you wanted me
The way I wanted you, babe
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms
And we almost
Almost
We almost knew what love was
Baby
But almost is never enough
[Outro]
Ooh
Oh, baby
Almost
You know, you know, baby
Almost is never enough, baby
Never
You know
