[Verse 1: Cherry Duesbury]

Can't believe I almost fell for what the voice inside was telling me

I can't believe I almost let intruders win

Can you believe we almost had a taste and then got thrown back out again?

It's almost like only the opulent stay in

[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]

Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost

No regrets, no unknowns

How much blood do we give before we're dry?

"Did you try?"

A lifetime of living in the almost

I came close, fell short, almost became

I almost gavе my hand up

[Post-Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]

There's only one outcomе from giving up

[Verse 2: Cherry Duesbury, William Alex Young]

It's almost always the same

Trying to hold on to the thrill of the chase

No way out

Of the perpetual race

Feels like I'm losing my mind

[Pre-Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]

Won't stop running 'cus I'm running out of time

I can't be my own demise but this might

[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]

Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost

No regrets, no unknowns

How much blood do we give before we're dry?

"Did you try?"

A lifetime of living in the almost

I came close, fell short, almost became

I almost gave my hand up

[Post-Chorus: William Alex Young]

There's only one outcome from giving up

How many times around before the gold is struck?

[Breakdown: William Alex Young, Cherry Duesbury & William Alex Young]

There's only one outcome from giving up

And when all's said and done

I've got nothing to lose

Nothing to lose

[Bridge: Cherry Duesbury]

Got nothing left to lose

So I don't really have to choose

I could play and I might win

Or never play the game again

Never play the game again

[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]

Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost

No regrets, no unknowns

How much blood do we give before we're dry?

"Did you try?"

A lifetime of living in the almost

I came close, fell short, almost became

I almost gave my hand up

[Post-Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]

Almost threw my hand away

But life's the only game I'll play
