almost made you love me . almost made yu cry .
almost made yu happy babe . didnt i , ddnt i ?

almost heard yu sayin , yu were "finally free."
wut was always missing for yu babe , "you found it in me . "
buhh yu cant get to heaven , half off the ground .
cuz erybody knows , almost doesnt count .

i hear a funny hesitation of a heart thats never really sure .
i cnt keep on trying if your looking for more .
than all that i can give you , than wut yu came here for .
