Lyrics:

There was rain on the street last night, we stood beneath the front door light
And everything we said, we made sure the neighbors heard
You called me this, I called you that, standin' on the welcome mat
Everything we felt it all came down to just one word

But you couldn't say it and I couldn't say it

You know I tried, my best to go and
I know you cried, 'cause I hurt you so
It should've been easy, to say that we were through
But to walk away from love, was more than we could do

It was almost goodbye
Almost goodbye

Now there was sun through the blinds this morning, when I opened up my eyes
And outside I could hear a mockingbird
And I could feel your heartbeat, as you lay there by my side
I thought of how the world could end with just one word

But you didn't say it, and I didn't say it

You know I tried, my best to go and
I know you cried, 'cause I hurt you so
It should've been easy, to say that we were through
But to walk away from love, was more than we could do

It was almost goodbye
Almost goodbye

Sometimes the most important words are the ones that you leave unspoken

You know I tried, my best to go and
I know you cried, 'cause I hurt you so
It should've been easy, to say that we were through
But to walk away from love, was more than we could do

It was almost goodbye
Almost goodbye
No, I couldn't say it, it was
Almost goodbye
