Mark Chesnutt - Almost Goodbye lyrics

rate me

There was rain on the street last night

We stood beneath the front door light

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

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

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 couldn'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

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

Sometimes the most important words

Are the ones that you leave unspoken
