There was rain on the street last night   We stood beneath the front door light   And 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 at 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 and   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 mocking bird      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 didn'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   Should have been easy to say that we were through   But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do      It was almost goodbye   It was almost goodbye      Sometimes the most important words   Are the ones that you leave unspoken      You know I tried my best to go and   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 that way was more than we could do      It was almost goodbye   Almost goodbye   No, I couldn't say   It was almost goodbye, almost goodbye
