Always Almost

I notice red flags and stop signs, before I see green lights

I try to slow down and think twice when it's alright

Finding the reasons it won't ever work

Avoiding the hurt, so I always leave first

I'll never get past the start, 'cause I break my own heart every time

It's always almost

Always getting so close

I always have so much I wanna say, but I don't

It's always my fault

I never get to fall in love

By the time that I get brave enough

I miss out and it's too late for us

Could've been, should've been something good

But I guess we'll never know

I do my best to pretend that we're friends and nothing else

I don't wanna be selfish, so I hold back

'Cause you look so happy with her on your shoulder

Maybe we'll try this again when we are older

Promise I'll be right there when it over

But right now

It's always almost

Always getting so close

I always have so much I wanna say, but I don't

It's always my fault

I never get to fall in love

By the time that I get brave enough

I miss out and it's too late for us

Could've been, should've been something good

But I guess we'll never know (it's always)

I'll always hold out for us

Hope that, someday, it's enough

You'll always be the one that got away

I'll always hold out for us

Hope that, someday, it's enough

You'll always be the one that got away

It's always almost

Always getting so close

I always have so much I wanna say, but I don't

It's always my fault

I never get to fall in love

By the time that I get brave enough

I miss out and it's too late for us

Could've been, should've been something good

But I guess we'll never know

I'll always hold out for us

Hope that, someday, it's enough

You'll always be the one that got away
