Almost Counts

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I almost held the stars in my hand
Felt the whole world
Thought you'd understand
But dreams fade fast when the truth comes out
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

[Chorus]
Almost kissed the moon
Almost touched the sky
Almost found forever but we let it die
Close ain't enough when you're losing ground
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

[Verse 2]
I almost believed in a love so true
Fought for the flame but it slipped right through
You can't build trust on shadows or doubt
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

[Bridge]
It's the pain of what could've been
A lonely road we begin again
Chasing echoes of a fading sound
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

[Verse 3]
I almost saw us standing side by side
Broke the walls
Let the oceans divide
But "nearly" leaves nothing to stick around
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

[Chorus]
Almost kissed the moon
Almost touched the sky
Almost found forever but we let it die
Close ain't enough when you're losing ground
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
