Always Almost - Rosie Darling

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 new reasons

It won't ever work

Avoiding the hurt so

I always leave first

I never get past the start

'Cause I break my own heart

Every time

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

Could've been

Should've been something good

But I guess we'll never know

I do my best to pretend that

We'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

Baby we'll try this again

When we're older

Promise I'll be right

There when it's over

But right now

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

Could've been

Should've been something good

But I guess we'll never know

It's always

I'll always hold out for us

Hope that some day it's enough

You'll always be

The one that got away

I'll always hold out for us

Hope that some day it's enough

You'll always be

The one that got away

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

Could've been

Should've been something good

But I guess we'll never know

I'll always hold out for us

Hope that some day it's enough

You'll always be

The one that got away
