Almost Doesn't Count

LETRA

Almost Doesn't Count

Almost made you love me, almost made you cry
Almost made you happy baby, didn't I, didn't I
You almost had me thinking you were turned around
But everybody knows almost doesn't count

Almost heard you saying you were finally free
What was always missing for you, babe, you found it in me
But you can't get to heaven half off the ground
Everybody knows, almost doesn't count

I can't keep loving you one foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation of a heart that's never really sure
Can't keep on trying if you're looking for more
Than all that I could give you, than what you came here for

Gotta find somebody not afraid to let go
Want a no-doubt be-there kind of girl, you came real close
But every time you build me up you only let me down
And everybody knows, almost doesn't count

I can't keep loving you one foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation of a heart that's never really sure
Can't keep on trying if you're looking for more
Than all that I could give you, than what you came here for

Maybe you'll be sorry, maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come running back from the cruel, cruel world
You almost convince me you're gonna stick around
But everybody knows, almost doesn't count

Maybe I'll be here, maybe I'll see you around
That's the way it goes, almost doesn't count
