Lyrics

I Almost Had it Made
Words and music by Andrew Gannon and Ian Dukes

It's almost too easy to detect the love I wrecked, now that it's through
I was a fool to reject the life I could've made with you
It's getting hard to see my face in the mirror in the morning, asking me: What the hell did I do?

CHORUS:
I almost had it made
But you know how the story goes
An empty heart is all I have to show
For a man who could not make the grade
For a man who almost had it made

Why did I not do the things that meant so much to you?
I just get lazy sometimes
But it ain't hard to understand how one could lose a winning hand
When it's just not wisely played

CHORUS:
I almost had it made
But you know how the story goes
An empty heart is all I have to show
For a man who could not make the grade
For a man who almost had it made....

...In the shade, times were easy then, I know babe
Why did I insist on breaking free?
I had no idea how lonely life could be
Life's made a loser out of me

CHORUS:
I almost had it made
But I just refused to see
A golden opportunity
So I just blindly walked away
But man, I almost had it made
