Almost Lover

Your fingertips across my skin

The palm trees swaying in the wind

Images



You sang me Spanish lullabies

The sweetest sadness in your eyes

Clever trick



I'd never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me



Goodbye my almost lover

Goodbye my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be



So long my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

I should have known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do



We walked along a crowded street

You took my hand and danced with me

Images



And when you left you kissed my lips

You told me you would never

Ever forget these images

No



I'd never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me



Goodbye my almost lover

Goodbye my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be



So long my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

I should have known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do



I cannot go to the ocean

I cannot drive the streets at night

I cannot wake up in the morning without you on my mind



So you're gone and I'm haunted

And I'll bet you are just fine

Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out of my life



Goodbye my almost lover

Goodbye my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be



So long my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

I should have known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do
