[Verse 1]

I lied just a little

When I said "I need you"

You stretched the truth

When you said that you knew

Just can't believe it

There's nothing to say

I was almost honest, almost


[Chorus]

Living alone, can't stand this place

It's four in the morning and I still see your face


[Verse 2]

I was nearly pure

When I said I loved you

You were semi-sincere

You said I'd bleed for you

We were kind of candid

Now you've gone away

You were almost honest, almost


[Chorus]

Living alone, falling from grace

I want to atone, but there's just empty space

I can't face tomorrow, now you're not coming back

Walked off in the night and just left me the tracks


[Bridge]

I question your call by the tone of your voice

I know I should hang up, but I don't have a choice

It happened that night when you told me to go

Don't ask who's to blame, I don't know


[Guitar Solo: Marty Friedman]


[Chorus]

Living alone, falling from grace

I want to atone, but there's just empty space

I can't face tomorrow, now you're not coming back

Walked off in the night and just left me the tracks


[Outro]

(Almost) Almost honest

(Almost) I was almost honest

(Almost) Almost honest

(Almost) I was almost honest

(Almost) Almost, almost honest

(Almost) I was almost honest…
