Lyrics
Almost Over
I watched the sunset from the rear view mirror
I kept on driving till my head was clear
Another broken promise another tear
Baby it's almost over
Sun caught the diamond on my wedding ring
You don't even where yours it don't mean a thing
Our loves been slowly dying and it's killing me
Baby it's almost over
My heart don't want to let you go
I thought our love was meant to last
But now I'm driving down this road
With a suitcase full of memories
Haunted by the past
If I turn this car around would you still be there
Would you beg forgiveness and pretend to care
I now know that's the fantasy buyer beware
Baby it's almost over
Baby it's almost over
Baby it's almost over
