Always Almost

I notice red flags and stop signs, before I see green lights
I try to slow down and think twice when it's alright
Finding the reasons it won't ever work
Avoiding the hurt, so I always leave first
I'll never get past the start, 'cause I break my own heart every time

It's always almost
Always getting so close
I always have so much I wanna say, but I don't
It's always my fault
I never get to fall in love
By the time that I get brave enough
I miss out and it's too late for us
Could've been, should've been something good
But I guess we'll never know

I do my best to pretend that we're friends and nothing else
I don't wanna be selfish, so I hold back
'Cause you look so happy with her on your shoulder
Maybe we'll try this again when we are older
Promise I'll be right there when it over
But right now

It's always almost
Always getting so close
I always have so much I wanna say, but I don't
It's always my fault
I never get to fall in love
By the time that I get brave enough
I miss out and it's too late for us
Could've been, should've been something good
But I guess we'll never know (it's always)

I'll always hold out for us
Hope that, someday, it's enough
You'll always be the one that got away
I'll always hold out for us
Hope that, someday, it's enough
You'll always be the one that got away

It's always almost
Always getting so close
I always have so much I wanna say, but I don't
It's always my fault
I never get to fall in love
By the time that I get brave enough
I miss out and it's too late for us
Could've been, should've been something good
But I guess we'll never know

I'll always hold out for us
Hope that, someday, it's enough
You'll always be the one that got away
