  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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, oh
    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

    (Huh) oh, huh oh
    (Oh, baby) hmm
    (You know) oh
    (You know, baby)
    (Almost)

    Baby, baby, baby (is not enough, baby)

    (You know) huh-huh
    (Huh, yeah)

    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

    Almost
    Almost is never enough (is never enough, babe)
    (We were) 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 we almost
    We almost knew what love was (baby)
    But almost is never enough

    (Huh)
    (Oh, baby) almost
    (You know) hey
    (You know, baby)
    (Almost)
    (Is never enough, baby) never
    (At all)
