Your fingertips across my skin,
The palm trees swaying in the wind,
Images.
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes,
Clever trick.
Well I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me,
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do.
We walked along on crowded street,
You took my hand and danced with me
Images.
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you would never ever forget
these images, no.
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me.
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you.
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do.
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
But so you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do.
I remember hearing this song 2yrs ago.. then I listened to it again about a month ago with my gf at the time. And now every time I hear this song I cry cuz I loved them so much and they didn't feel the same. I always feel butterflies when I see them and my heart beats faster. I really don't wanna like them anymore cuz it just causes more pain for me.
