Almost Is Never Enough
Love's Near Miss: Almost Is Never Enough
Lyrics
I'd like to say we gave it a try
I wish to acknowledge that we made an effort
I'd like to blame it all on life
I want to attribute our situation to fate or circumstances
Maybe we just weren't right
Possibly, we were not suitable for each other
But that's a lie, that's a lie
Contrary to my statement, that's not the truth
And we can deny it as much as we want
We can reject the reality as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show
Over time, our true feelings will become evident
'Cause sooner or later we'll wonder why we gave up
Because eventually, we'll question why we gave up
The truth is, everyone knows
The reality is, everyone is aware
Almost, almost is never enough
Closeness or nearness is insufficient
So close to being in love
We were on the brink of love
If I would have known that you wanted me
If I had known you desired me
The way I wanted you
As much as I desired you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
We might not be distant from each other
But right here in each other's arms
Instead, we'd be embracing each other
And we almost, we almost knew what love was
We had a partial understanding of what love is
But almost is never enough
However, partial understanding is inadequate
If I could change the world overnight
If I had the power to change the world instantly
There'd be no such thing as goodbye
Goodbyes wouldn't exist
You'd be standing right where you were
You would be in the same place as before
And we'd get the chance we deserve, oh
We'd have the opportunity we merit
Try to deny it as much as you want
You can resist accepting it as much as you want
But in time our feelings will show
Yet, over time, emotions will reveal themselves
'Cause sooner or later we'll wonder why we gave up
Because eventually, we'll question why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows
The truth is, everyone is aware
Almost, almost is never enough
Closeness or nearness is insufficient
So close to being in love
We were on the brink of love
If I would have known that you wanted me
If I had known you desired me
The way I wanted you
As much as I desired you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
We might not be distant from each other
But right here in each other's arms
Instead, we'd be embracing each other
And we almost, we almost knew what love was
We had a partial understanding of what love is
But almost is never enough
However, partial understanding is inadequate
And we can deny it as much as we want
We can reject the reality as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show
Over time, our true feelings will become evident
'Cause sooner or later we'll wonder why we gave up
Because eventually, we'll question why we gave up
The truth is, everyone knows
The reality is, everyone is aware
