Almost lover
Your fingertips across my skinThe palm trees swaying in the windImagesYou sang me Spanish lullabiesThe sweetest sadness in your eyesClever trick
Well, I never want to see you unhappyI thought you'd want the same for me
[Chorus]Goodbye, my almost loverGoodbye, my hopeless dreamI'm trying not to think about youCan't you just let me be?So long, my luckless romanceMy back is turned on youShould've known you'd bring me heartacheAlmost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded streetYou took my hand and danced with meImagesAnd when you left, you kissed my lipsYou told me you would never, never forgetThese images
No
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappyI thought you'd want the same for me
[Chorus]Goodbye, my almost loverGoodbye, my hopeless dreamI'm trying not to think about youCan't you just let me be?So long, my luckless romanceMy back is turned on youShould've known you'd bring me heartacheAlmost lovers always do
I cannot go to the oceanI cannot drive the streets at nightI cannot wake up in the morningWithout you on my mindSo you're gone and I'm hauntedAnd I bet you are just fine
Did I make it thatEasy to walk right in and outOf my life?
[Chorus]Goodbye, my almost loverGoodbye, my hopeless dreamI'm trying not to think about youCan't you just let me be?So long, my luckless romanceMy back is turned on youShould have known you'd bring me heartacheAlmost lovers always do
