Song Description

Two people in a recently-ended relationship look back at what could have been and how they "almost" fell in love.

Lyrics

We Almost Fell in Love

We almost made it last
We almost took the chance
We almost held a little piece of heaven in our hands
I almost gave my heart
You almost gave you all
We almost dared to fly so high before we took the fall
You had your pride, and I had mine
So we left the fire to fade away and die

We almost fell in love
We almost spread our wings
We almost built the kind of trust
that lasts through anything
We almost made it there
And our hearts almost tried
But to almost love is just to say good-bye
To almost love is just to say good-bye

I almost said the words that would have made you stay
You almost said them too but then we chose to walk away
You almost were the one I built my world around
You almost were convinced I was a treasure you had found
But we had plans, we had to choose
So we said good-bye with everything to lose

(repeat chorus)

We almost fell in love
We almost spread our wings
We almost built the kind of trust that lasts
Through anything
We almost made it there
And our hearts almost tried
But to almost love is just to say good-bye (good-bye)
To almost love is just to say good-bye
