"Almost" lyrics

I heard you're living it up in Chicago
I bet you're playing me down in your head
We nearly made it but you let go
But I let you go before you left
I woke up and everything was different
Your secrets burst out of the seams
You let it out, I had to listen

So much for my American dream
So much for my American dream

We were almost good
We were almost
We were almost good, we were so close
You nearly didn't lie, oh, you didn't tried
You're almost good, almost

Am I just leaning on wishful thinking?
Was what we had like precious gold?
'Cause underneath my heart still sinking
Do I have it in me to be bold?
Will I wake up and everything be different?
Or will you never really leave?
Could I still love you in my memories?

So much for my American dream
So much for my American dream

We were almost good, almost
We were almost good, we were so close
You nearly didn't lie, oh, you nearly tried
You were almost good, almost
Almost, almost, almost

So much for my American dream
I guess life is never as it seems
