"Always Almost There" lyrics

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
