Almost Goodbye

There was rain on the street last night
 We stood beneath the front door light
 And everything we said
 We made sure the neighbors heard
 You called me this, I called you that
 Standing on the welcome mat
 Everything we felt it all came down to just one word
 But you couldn't say it and I couldn't say it
 You know I tried my best to go
 And I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
 It should have been easy
 To say that we were through
 But to walk away from love
 Was more than we could do
 It was almost goodbye
 ♪
 Almost goodbye
 ♪
 Now there was sun
 Through the blinds this morning
 When I opened up my eyes
 Outside I could hear a mockingbird
 And I could feel your heartbeat
 As you layed there by my side
 I thought of how the world could end with just one word
 But you didn't say it and I didn't say it
 You know I tried my best to go
 And I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
 It should have been easy
 To say that we were through
 But to walk away from love that way
 Was more than we could do
 It was almost goodbye
 It was almost goodbye
 ♪
 Sometimes the most important words
 Are the ones that you leave unspoken
 You know I tried my best to go
 And I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
 It should have been easy
 To say that we were through
 But to walk away from love that way
 Was more than we could do
 It was almost goodbye
 
 Almost goodbye
 No, I couldn't say it was
 Almost goodbye, oh oh
