almost lover

[nonmidir]

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

but 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
shoulda known you'd bring me heartache
almost lovers always do

we walked along the 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
and now?

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
shoulda 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'll bet that you're just fine
did i make it that easy for you 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
shoulda known you'd bring me heartache
almost lovers always do
