Almost Here

Did I hear you right 'cause I thought you said let's think it over.
You have been my life and I never planned growing old without you.
Shadows bleeding through the light where the love once shined so bright came without a reason. Don't let go on us tonight.
Love's not always black and white.
Haven't I always loved you?

But when I need you you're almost here and I know that's not enough and when I'm with you I'm close to tears 'cause your only almost here.

I would change the world if I had a chance.
Oh won't you let me.
Treat me like a child, throw your arms around me.
Oh please protect me.

Bruised and battered by your words.
Dazed and shattered how it hurts.
Haven't I always loved you.

But when I need you you're almost here and I know that's not enough and when I'm with you I'm close to tears 'cause your only almost here.

Bruised and battered by your words.
Dazed and shattered how it hurts.
Haven't I always loved you.

But when I need you you're almost here well I never knew how far behind I'd left you and when I hold you your almost here.
Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted and now I'm with you I'm close to tears 'cause I know I'm almost here.
Only almost here.
