[Verse 1]

This time I almost made it, came so close to saying no

I almost found the words to make you go

This time I almost made it, almost pushed you away

But my heart cried out, begging you to stay

[Verse 2]

And now I'm laying here beside you cryin' softly

'Cause I know you're going home to her

'Cause you belong to her

And you go home to her

[Verse 3]

I know you steal away, I know there'll be another day

That you'll come back again

And you'll say, "Hello, friend"

And I'll reach out my hand

[Outro]

This time I almost made it

This time I almost made it
