Almost

[Verse 1]
I heard you're living it up in Chicago
I bet you're playing me down in your head
We nearly made it but you let go
But I let you go before you left
I woke up and everything was different
Your secrets burst out of the seams
You let it out, I had to listen

[Pre-Chorus]
So much for my American dream
So much for my American dream

[Chorus]
We were almost good
We were almost
We were almost good, we were so close
You nearly didn't lie, oh, you didn't tried
You're almost good, almost

[Verse 2]
Am I just leaning on wishful thinking?
Was what we had like precious gold?
'Cause underneath my heart still sinking
Do I have it in me to be bold?
Will I wake up and everything be different?
Or will you never really leave?
Could I still love you in my memories?

[Pre-Chorus]
So much for my American dream
So much for my American dream

[Chorus]
We were almost good, almost
We were almost good, we were so close
You nearly didn't lie, oh, you nearly tried
You were almost good, almost
Almost, almost, almost

[Outro]
So much for my American dream
I guess life is never as it seems
