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 shoulda 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 mornin'
when i opened up my eyes
outside i could hear a mockingbird
and i could feel your heartbeat
as you lay 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 shoulda been easy to say that we were through
but to walk away from love 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
and i know you cried
cause i hurt you so
it shoulda been easy to say that we were through
but to walk away from love that way
was more than we could do
it was ah almost goodbye
almost goodbye no i couldn't say it was
almost goodbye oh oh
almost goodbye
