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 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, ever forget 
These images 

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 

I cannot go to the ocean 
I cannot drive the streets at night 
I cannot wake up in the morning 
Without you on my mind 
So you're gone and I'm haunted 
And I bet you are just fine 


Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life? 

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. 



A fine Frenzy
