Always Almost

[Verse 1] I notice red flags and stop signs before I see green lights I try to slow down and think twice when it's alright Finding the reasons it won't ever work Avoiding the hurt so I always leave first I'll never get past the start 'cause I break my own heart every time [Chorus] It's always almost Always getting so close I always have so much I wanna say But I don't It's always my fault I never get to fall in love By the time that I get brave enough I miss out and it's too late for us [Post-Chorus] Could've been, should've been something good But I guess we'll nevеr know [Verse 2] I do my best to pretend that wе're friends and nothing else I don't wanna be selfish so I hold back 'Cause you look so happy with her on your shoulder Maybe we'll try this again when we are older Promise I'll be right there when it's over But right now [Chorus] It's always almost Always getting so close I always have so much I wanna say But I don't It's always my fault I never get to fall in love By the time that I get brave enough I miss out and it's too late for us [Post-Chorus] Could've been, should've been something good But I guess we'll never know (It's always) [Bridge] I'll always hold out for us Hope that, someday, it's enough You'll always be the one that got away I'll always hold out for us Hope that, someday, it's enough You'll always be the one that got away [Chorus] It's always almost Always getting so close I always have so much I wanna say But I don't It's always my fault I never get to fall in love By the time that I get brave enough I miss out and it's too late for us [Post-Chorus] Could've been, should've been something good But I guess we'll never know [Outro] I'll always hold out for us Hope that, someday, it's enough You'll always be the one that got away
