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 living alone

I know the kids still love me and their mama

But I came so close to losing my home

I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop

But big enough to admit I was wrong

When I think of what I've done the cheer runs through me

Cause I came so close to losing my home

I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop

But big enough to admit I was wrong

When I think of what I've done the cheer runs through me

Cause I came so close to losing my home

I came so close to losing my home
