almost goodbye lyrics

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
Almost goodbye
