You took my hand and danced with me in the shade
Can't you just let me be?
My back is turned on you
Goodbye, my almost lover
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Right in and out of my life?
So long, my luckless romance
I thought you’d want the same for me
Did I make it that easy to walk
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
Without you on my mind
So long, my luckless romance
I'm trying not to think about you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Goodbye, my almost lover
You told me you would never ever forget these images, no
I cannot go to the ocean
My back is turned on you
I cannot wake up in the morning
Almost lovers always do
Well, I’d never want to see you unhappy
I cannot try the streets at night
You sang me Spanish lullabies
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
The sweetest sadness in your eyes, clever trick
We walked along a crowded street
Almost lovers always do
So long, my luckless romance
I'm trying not to think about you
Why can't you just let me be?
Well, I’d never want to see you unhappy
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I thought you’d want the same for me
And when you left you kissed my lips
Can't you just let me be?
And I bet you are just fine
I'm trying not to think about you
Goodbye, my almost lover
My back is turned on you
So you're gone and I'm haunted
