Almost Is Never

We were almost something
We were almost there
All we had to do was try
Just once, but we never did

We never took a chance
We never said those words
The ones in our eyes every
Time that we got together

We were almost something
We were almost there
All we had to do was try
Just once, but we never did

Our hands refused to reach
Our mouths refused to speak
We could have been something
Instead of slowly drifting apart

We were almost something
We were almost there
All we had to do was try
Just once, but we never did

Our paths were once the same
Once we could walk side by side
But our fingers never touched
We failed to hold onto each other

We were almost something
We were almost there
All we had to do was try
Just once, but we never did

Sometimes, I still look back
And wonder if we did the right
Thing, if we should have tried
Harder to start somewhere

We were almost something
We were almost there
All we had to do was try
Just once, but we never did

We were almost something
We were almost there
All we had to do was try
Just once, but we never did

We could have been everything
Together, the two of us in love
Building our own life and dreams
Having our happily ever after

Instead, we kept saying later
Then later never showed up
And our chance was lost to time
We became yesterday’s memories

We were almost something
We were almost there
All we had to do was try
Just once, but we never did
