Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You always take your coffee black,
I always add too much cream.
You laugh and say Iโm difficult,
I tell you, โOnly in my dreams.โ
We meet on Sundays after three,
the same old table by the door.
You tell me who youโve fallen for,
I smile like I havenโt heard it all before.
[Pre-Chorus]
And isnโt it funny
how love can be so polite?
Sitting right beside you,
pretending everythingโs alright.
[Chorus]
We were almost something,
almost worth the fall.
You almost held me differently,
I almost had it all.
But โalmostโ doesnโt kiss you,
and โalmostโ doesnโt stay.
So Iโll love you very quietly
until it goes away.
If it goes away.
[Verse 2]
You called me late on Tuesday night,
said you couldnโt fall asleep.
I listened while you talked for hours
about a girl you hope to keep.
You asked me if Iโve ever loved
someone who didnโt love me too.
I nearly laughed at the irony,
then said, โNo, I donโt think I do.โ
[Pre-Chorus]
Isnโt it cruel
how easy lying can be?
Especially when the person
youโre lying to is you and me.
[Chorus]
We were almost something,
almost worth the fall.
You almost held me differently,
I almost had it all.
But โalmostโ doesnโt miss you,
and โalmostโ doesnโt ache.
Almost shouldnโt feel this much
for something we never made.
[Bridge]
Maybe in another life
youโd look at me and know.
Maybe Iโd be brave enough
to tell you not to go.
Maybe thereโd be no โher,โ
no bad timing, no excuse.
Maybe you would choose me.
What a lovely thing to lose.
[Final Chorus]
We were almost something,
at least inside my head.
I built a little future
from every word you said.
And maybe youโll forget me
when youโre happy someday.
Iโll pretend Iโm glad I knew you
in this almost kind of way.
So hereโs to almost loving,
to almost being brave.
And to all the little heartbreaks
no one ever gets to name.
[Outro]
You always take your coffee black.
I still add too much cream.
