Big Time
Almost Hit the Pinnacle: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Redemption
Lyrics
Used to think my life was charmed
Used to believe my life was fortunate
Everything was grand
Everything seemed great
Well I was living like a king
Lived in luxury
But in a castle made of sand
Realized it was fragile, like a castle made of sand
All I took for granted
Took everything for granted
Was all I had to lose
Didn't appreciate what I had until I lost it
Well I was reachin' for the brass ring
Chased after success when I should've prioritized you
When I should've been holding you
Regret for not holding onto a meaningful relationship
Well I almost hit the big time
Nearly achieved significant success
I almost had it all
Had almost everything
Then you left me lonely near the top
Left alone near the pinnacle of success
That's a mighty long way to fall
Falling from such heights is a substantial loss
I'm just barely gettin' by
Struggling to make it through
It's the best that I can do
Doing the best I can under the circumstances
Well I almost hit the big time
Almost reached the peak, then experienced a setback
Then I took a spill
Faced a downfall
It's been all downhill
Life has been deteriorating since losing you
Baby since I lost you
Well I thought you were so naive
Thought you were naive
When you said to me
When you told me money doesn't matter
Money does not matter
The best things in life are free
The best things in life are free
when you left I was riding high
Realized the truth after you were gone
But as soon as you weren't around
Understood the value of your words in your absence
I found out how right you were
Everything collapsed without you
As it all came crashing down
Well I almost hit the big time
Had nearly everything
I almost had it all
Left alone near the top
Then you left me lonly near the top
Falling from such heights is a significant loss
That's a mightly long way to fall
I'm just barely gettin' by
Doing the best I can under the circumstances
It's the best that I can do
Almost reached the peak, but faced a setback
But I almost hit the big time
Faced a downfall
Then I took a spill
Life has been deteriorating since losing you
And it's been all downhill
Ya, I took a fall and I lost it all
Took a fall and lost everything
Baby when I lost you.
Life has never been the same since losing you
