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 it 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 mockingbird      And I could feel your heartbeat   As you layed 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   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   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, oh oh   Almost goodbye
