Always Almost by Rosie Darling Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I notice red flags and stop signs before I see green lights
I try to slow down and think twice when it's alright
Finding the reasons it won't ever work
Avoiding the hurt so I always leave first
I'll never get past the start 'cause I break my own heart every time
[Chorus]
It's always almost
Always getting so close
I always have so much I wanna say
But I don't
It's always my fault
I never get to fall in love
By the time that I get brave enough
I miss out and it's too late for us
[Post-Chorus]
Could've been, should've been something good
But I guess we'll nevеr know
[Verse 2]
I do my best to pretend that wе're friends and nothing else
I don't wanna be selfish so I hold back
'Cause you look so happy with her on your shoulder
Maybe we'll try this again when we are older
Promise I'll be right there when it's over
But right now
[Chorus]
It's always almost
Always getting so close
I always have so much I wanna say
But I don't
It's always my fault
I never get to fall in love
By the time that I get brave enough
I miss out and it's too late for us
[Post-Chorus]
Could've been, should've been something good
But I guess we'll never know
(It's always)
[Bridge]
I'll always hold out for us
Hope that, someday, it's enough
You'll always be the one that got away
I'll always hold out for us
Hope that, someday, it's enough
You'll always be the one that got away
[Chorus]
It's always almost
Always getting so close
I always have so much I wanna say
But I don't
It's always my fault
I never get to fall in love
By the time that I get brave enough
I miss out and it's too late for us
[Post-Chorus]
Could've been, should've been something good
But I guess we'll never know
[Outro]
I'll always hold out for us
Hope that, someday, it's enough
You'll always be the one that got away
I notice red flags and stop signs before I see green lights
I try to slow down and think twice when it's alright
Finding the reasons it won't ever work
Avoiding the hurt so I always leave first
I'll never get past the start 'cause I break my own heart every time
[Chorus]
It's always almost
Always getting so close
I always have so much I wanna say
But I don't
It's always my fault
I never get to fall in love
By the time that I get brave enough
I miss out and it's too late for us
[Post-Chorus]
Could've been, should've been something good
But I guess we'll nevеr know
[Verse 2]
I do my best to pretend that wе're friends and nothing else
I don't wanna be selfish so I hold back
'Cause you look so happy with her on your shoulder
Maybe we'll try this again when we are older
Promise I'll be right there when it's over
But right now
[Chorus]
It's always almost
Always getting so close
I always have so much I wanna say
But I don't
It's always my fault
I never get to fall in love
By the time that I get brave enough
I miss out and it's too late for us
[Post-Chorus]
Could've been, should've been something good
But I guess we'll never know
(It's always)
[Bridge]
I'll always hold out for us
Hope that, someday, it's enough
You'll always be the one that got away
I'll always hold out for us
Hope that, someday, it's enough
You'll always be the one that got away
[Chorus]
It's always almost
Always getting so close
I always have so much I wanna say
But I don't
It's always my fault
I never get to fall in love
By the time that I get brave enough
I miss out and it's too late for us
[Post-Chorus]
Could've been, should've been something good
But I guess we'll never know
[Outro]
I'll always hold out for us
Hope that, someday, it's enough
You'll always be the one that got away
