| 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 |
