Almost

I heard you're living it up in Chicago

I bet you're playing me down in your head

We nearly made it but you let go

But I let you go before you left

I woke up and everything was different

Your secrets burst out of the seams

You let it out, I had to listen

So much for my American dream

So much for my American dream

We were almost good

We were almost

We were almost good, we were so close

You nearly didn't lie, oh, you didn't tried

You're almost good, almost

Am I just leaning on wishful thinking?

Was what we had like precious gold?

'Cause underneath my heart still sinking

Do I have it in me to be bold?

Will I wake up and everything be different?

Or will you never really leave?

Could I still love you in my memories?

So much for my American dream

So much for my American dream

We were almost good, almost

We were almost good, we were so close

You nearly didn't lie, oh, you nearly tried

You were almost good, almost

Almost, almost, almost

So much for my American dream

I guess life is never as it seems
