"This Time I Almost Made It" lyrics

This Time I Almost Made It

This time I almost made it
Came so close to saying no
I almost found the words
To make you go

This time I almost made it
Almost pushed you away
But my heart cried out
Begging you to stay

Now I'm laying here beside you
Crying softly
Cause I know you're going home to her
Cause you belong to her
And you go home to her

I know you steal away
I know there'll be another day
That you'll come back again
And you'll say hello friend
And I'll reach out my hand

This time I almost made it
This time I almost made it
