I wrote it down

And hoped that you would find it

Long after I had gone

As far away as I could get

From those words I couldn't say

You'll be better off the day I go away

We were almost in love

So close but never close enough

You wrote it down

And put it in my pocket

I didn't find it 'til

It was too late to change my mind

We'll be happier this way

I would only let you down if I should stay

We were almost in love

So close but never close enough

We were almost in love

So close but never close enough
