I Came So Close To Living Alone

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I came close so close to failure

I came close to losing my home

I know the kids still love me and their mommy

But I came so close to living alone

I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop

But big enough to admit I was wrong

Now I'm trying hard to be the man I ought to be

But I came so close to living alone

[ steel ]

I didn't know just how much they meant to me

I guess sometimes a man must be shown

When I think of what I've done a chill goes through me

I came so close to living alone

I felt small enough to drown...
