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
Standing on the welcome mat
Everything we felt at 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 have 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
Outside I could hear a mocking bird

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
I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
Should have been easy to say that we were through
But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do

It was almost goodbye
It was 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 have been easy to say that we were through
But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do

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