Almost Doesn't Count

What was always missing for you, babe, you found it in me
I hear a funny hesitation of a heart that's never really sure

Almost heard you saying you were finally free

I can't keep lovin' you one foot outside the door

You almost convince me, you're gonna stick around
Want a no-doubt be-there kind of girl, you came real close
Can't keep on tryin' if you're looking for more
Everybody knows, almost doesn't count
But you can't get to heaven half off the ground

But every time you built me up you only let me down
I can't keep lovin' you one foot outside the door
You almost had me thinkin' you were turned around
Can't keep on tryin' if you're looking for more
And everybody knows, almost doesn't count

I hear a funny hesitation of a heart that's never really sure
But everybody knows, almost doesn't count
Maybe you'll be sorry, maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come runnin' back from the cruel, cruel world
Maybe I'll be here, maybe I'll see you 'round

Than all that I could give you than what you came here for
Gotta find somebody not afraid to let go
Than all that I could give you than what you came here for
But everybody knows, almost doesn't count
