Lyrics

Didn?t We Almost Make It?

Didn?t we almost make
we almost shared that lifetime of happy ever afters?
Didn?t we almost have it all
Didn?t we almost break it
That rule that tells you nothing so good can last forever.
Now we?re the also rans
Two sentimental could have beens
Two fools who had the greatest love
In the palms of our hands
Then let it go?

Tell me this didn?t happen
Tell me I?ll wake up from this nightmare
And you?ll still be there
Tell me that you love me
That you?ll build your life around me
Lie to me until I learn to breath again
Cause I simply can?t imagine
Breathing out and breathing in again
Without you

They tell Me I?ll learn to live my life without you
Those million things I cherish about you
Will just fade away
Well I?ll be glad to tell the world I?m over you
Tell them I?m not wild about you
Should only take a lifetime? Maybe two

Didn?t it seem so simple then
You and I shared all the secrets to
Our universe
Our ones and ones were always twos
Our wildest dreams would all come true
Nothing else much mattered
But me and you
If it seemed so simple then
Why can?t I just remember where or when
I lost you?

I really loved the lyrics, they were emotional and emotion was really conveyed through the lyrics. I thought the simplicity of the single vocal melodyline was extremely effective in making the listener feel almost in touch with the song; as if we were the one who almost 'made it' with someone. Although further instrumentation would add to the song, I personally feel that too many instruments would take away from the delicacy of this song.

Your song is fabulous!

I hope this helps :)
