Almost Here

Did I hear you right? 'Cause I thought you said, "Let's think it over!" You have been my life And I never planned growing old without you Shadows bleeding through the light Where the love once shined so bright Came without a reason Don't let go on us tonight Love's not always black and white Oh, haven't I always loved you? But when I need you, you're almost here And I know that's not enough And when I'm with you, I'm close to tears 'Cause you're only almost here I would change the world if I had a chance Oh, won't you let me? Treat me like a child, throw your arms around me Oh, please protect me Bruised and battered by your words Dazed and shattered now it hurts Oh, haven't I always loved you? But when I need you, you're almost here And I know that's not enough And when I'm with you, I'm close to tears 'Cause you're only almost here (Ooh...) Bruised and battered by your words Dazed and shattered now it hurts Haven't I always loved you? But when I need you, you're almost here Well, I never knew how far behind I'd left you And when I hold you, you're almost here Well, I'm sorry that I took our love for granted And now I'm with you, I'm close to tears 'Cause I know I'm almost here Only almost here
