Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You taped the picture I fixed the frame We patched the drywall Still leaked the same You learned my language From scribbled notes But every apology Caught in our throats [Pre-Chorus] We did the work Checked every box Laughed in the kitchen Argued the clocks Thought if we tried hard enough We could weld the cracks shut [Chorus] We almost made it easy We almost made it right Had the plan Had the promise Still lost it in the night We did everything they preach Every book Every plea Guess effort isn’t magic Love’s more than what we bleed We almost made it easy But almost isn’t peace [Verse 2] Your suitcase open On half the bed Folded decisions Beside what you said You kissed my forehead Said “This still hurts” Like loving each other Just made it worse [Pre-Chorus] We fixed the steps The squeaking door Ignored the part we’re fighting for Thought if we just held on tight We could bend the rules of life [Chorus] We almost made it easy We almost made it right Had the plan Had the promise Still lost it in the night We did everything they preach Every book Every plea Guess effort isn’t magic Love’s more than what we bleed We almost made it easy But almost isn’t peace [Bridge] You on the sidewalk Me in the hall Both of us certain We gave it our all Isn’t that tragic? Isn’t that kind? Doing our best Still leaving behind [Chorus] We almost made it easy We almost made it right Held our breath Held each other Still slipped out of sight We did everything they preach Every book Every plea Sometimes the hardest workers Still don’t get what they need We almost made it easy But almost isn’t peace We almost made it easy It still brought us to our knees
