Almost

[Verse 1] I heard you're living it up in Chicago I bet you're playing me down in your head We nearly made it but you let go But I let you go before you left I woke up and everything was different Your secrets burst out of the seams You let it out, I had to listen [Pre-Chorus] So much for my American dream So much for my American dream [Chorus] We were almost good We were almost We were almost good, we were so close You nearly didn't lie, oh, you didn't tried You're almost good, almost [Verse 2] Am I just leaning on wishful thinking? Was what we had like precious gold? 'Cause underneath my heart still sinking Do I have it in me to be bold? Will I wake up and everything be different? Or will you never really leave? Could I still love you in my memories? [Pre-Chorus] So much for my American dream So much for my American dream [Chorus] We were almost good, almost We were almost good, we were so close You nearly didn't lie, oh, you nearly tried You were almost good, almost Almost, almost, almost [Outro] So much for my American dream I guess life is never as it seems
