Almost made you love me
Almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, baby
Didn't I, didn't I
You almost had me thinkin'
You were turned around
But ev'rybody knows Almost doesn't count
It's funny I actually thought that you were starting to change. To be a new person. I thought you were actually starting to love me the way I love you. I wanted to make you happy but the more I tried the more you pushed me away.
Almost heard you saying
You were finally free
What was always missing for you, baby
You'd found it in me
But you can't get to heaven
Half off the ground
Ev'rybody knows
Almost doesn't count
I can't keep on lovin' you
One foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation
Of a heart that's never really sure
Can't keep on tryin'
If you're looking for more
Than all that I could give you
Than what you came here for
I just can't keep doing this Brian. I can't keep trying to get you to love me the way I love you. They say you're incapable of love that you can't ever let another heart touch yours. I didn't believe it at first, but now I know. I know that you weren't ever sure about us, sure I know who you are. I know what you do. But why can't I be all that you need. Why can't I be the one that you come for?
Gonna find me somebody
Not afraid to let go
Want a no-doubt, be-there kind of man
You came real close
But, ev'ry time you built me up
You only let me down
And ev'rybody knows
Almost doesn't count
Ethan is everything you're not. He's loving and romantic. He never lets me down the way you did. I've never once doubted that he loves me. I never will, because he says the words. He is there for me.
Maybe you'll be sorry
Maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come runnin' back, baby
From the cruel, cruel world
Almost convince me
You're gonna stick around
But ev'rybody knows
Almost doesn't count
Maybe one day you'll regret letting me go. Maybe you'll come running back to me and beg me to stay. Maybe you'll stick around and wait for me, maybe you won't.
So, maybe, I'll be here
Maybe I'll see ya 'round
That's the way it goes
Almost doesn't count
