[Verse 1: Brian McFadden]
Did I hear you right?
'Cause I thought you said, "Let's think it over"
You have been my life, and I never planned
Growing old without you
[Verse 2: Brian McFadden]
Shadows bleeding through the light
Where the love once shined so bright
It came without a reason
Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white
Well, haven't I always loved you?
[Chorus: Delta Goodrem]
But when I need you
You're almost here, and I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you, I'm close to tears
'Cause you're only almost here
[Verse 3: Brian McFadden, Both]
I would change the world
If I had a chance, oh, won't you let me?
Treat me like a child, throw your arms around me
Oh, please protect me
Bruised and battered by your words
Dazed and shattered, now it hurts
Oh, haven't I always loved you?
[Chorus: Delta Goodrem]
But when I need you
You're almost here, and I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you, I'm close to tears
'Cause you're only almost here
(Ooh, oh)
[Bridge: Both, Brian McFadden]
Bruised and battered by your words
Dazed and shattered, now it hurts
Haven't I always loved you?
[Outro: Delta Goodrem, Brian McFadden & Both]
But when I need you, you're almost here
Well, I never knew how far behind I'd left you
And when I hold you, you're almost here
Well, I'm sorry that I took our love for granted
And now I'm with you, I'm close to tears
'Cause I know I'm almost here
Only almost here
