ALMOST MEANT TO BE

[Verse 1]

I know we want forever

We see it on TV

Every movie is always the same

Oh, it all ends happily

[Verse 2]

No one left alone crying

Simple love guaranteed

It all seems so divine, perfect timing

Until it's you and me

Oh, until it's you and me

[Chorus]

'Cause the edge of North Carolina

Still isn't Tennessee

A loss that came down to the wire

Still means that you got beat

We got so close, but close doesn't cut it

Like a lock that don't quite fit the key

It's easy to almost be something

Just like you and me

Almost meant to be

[Verse 3]

We tried talking 'til morning

Rewrite all our mistakes

We apologized over and over

I know we tried everything

Now I'm red-eyed and tired

Now there's tears on your face

We just say sorry over and over, I know

Some things never change

[Chorus]

'Cause the edge of North Carolina

Still isn't Tennessee

A loss that came down to the wire

Still means that you got beat

We got so close, but close doesn't cut it

Like a lock that don't quite fit the key

It's easy to almost be something

Just like you and me

Almost meant to be

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh

[Chorus]

We got so close, but close doesn't cut it

Like a lock that don't quite fit the key

It's easy to almost be something

Just like you and me

Almost meant to be
