Almost

Everybody knows that the days are numbered

But not everyone is letting on

I carry this load and I feel so encumbered

I cross out the days, I know it won't be long

I peer through the shades, and I wait for the moment

So many have so much, I have nothing left to lose

When times were uncertain, when signs were misread

You always had the right words to say

And times I would give you reasons for them to be said

I don't take any pride in having had you carry me this way

But that's all behind us and I wait here alone

I hope you find comfort when the final day is done

I think back on days when I almost felt ease

We almost had something but that's nothing now, it's true

I almost had something but it's nothing now without you
