Always Almost There

You tell you love me, I try to believe it

You smile when you're supposed to, but baby, I know you

When you close your eyes, it ain't me who's behind them no more

You're too kind to say it, but I can't help but see it

That's why I love you, so how could I let you

Pretend anymore? When I know who you're doing it for

You can't make somebody want you

You can't make somebody care

And I know with me

You'll only ever be

Always almost there

You're not a liar, but girl, I ain't blind

Baby, who are we fooling? We're both only human

Your kiss, it still kills me, but mine never will be enough

Yeah, we're so close, we're almost, and almost is hard to give up

But I know

You can't make somebody want you

You can't make somebody care

And I know with me

You'll only ever be

Always almost there

We almost look perfect on paper, oh

Maybe we're doing love a favor, oh yeah

You can't make somebody want you

You can't make somebody care

And I know with me

You'll only ever be

Always almost there

I can't stop, I can't keep you

Lord knows that I want to

But I just can't stop, I can't keep you

Lord knows that I want to

But I just can't stop

I can't stop, can't keep you

Lord knows that I want to

But I just can't stop, I can't keep you

Lord knows that I want to

But I just can't stop

I just can't stop
