lyrics

You think you almost made it
What could’ve been?
You think you almost saved it
hating the strain of the pain

let it subside
the pain’s in another time
nothing hurts like “almost”
but give up that old ghost

you say you didn’t get a chance to live
you say you didn’t get a chance to love
but there was something to be scared of
something was off

let it subside
the pain’s in another time
nothing hurts like “almost”
but give up that old ghost

Let sleeping dogs lie
why tell yourself lies?

You feel you failed yourself.
You feel the sting of the loss.
But you did all you could
the timing wasn't right enough

let it subside
the pain’s in another time
nothing hurts like “almost”
but give up that old ghost
