Almost Lover

Your fingertips across my skin The palm trees swaying in the wind, images You sang me spanish lullabies The sweetest sadness in your eyes, clever trick Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do We walked along a crowded street You took my hand and danced with me, images And when you left you kissed my lips You told me you would never, never forget these images, no Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be?

Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Why can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do
