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 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 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 mockingbird And I could feel your heartbeat

As you layed 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 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, oh oh

Almost goodbye
