歌词
(Verse 1)
The corner store still keeps the lights on after dark
I told myself I wouldn't stop —but here I am Here I are
The same old brand of yogurt sitting on the second shelf
I reached for it like I used to reach for you In spite of myself
(Pre-Chorus)
And the cashier doesn't know me She doesn't know what this aisle means
She doesn't know that you used to stand right here picking out the same damn thing
She doesn't know I still buy two out of habit out of ache
And take the second one home put it in the fridge and throw it away
(Chorus)
It was almost heaven Almost love Almost enough to make me stay
I was almost yours You were almost mine We almost made it through the gray
But almost is a bruise that never fades never heals never leaves —
It's not the love I lost It's the love I almost believed
Almost heaven Almost you Almost me
(Verse 2)
I sat down on the curb outside the street was getting dark
Holding that stupid yogurt like it was a piece of your heart
And I thought about the mornings you would bring me one to bed
How something so small could mean so much How something so small is all I have left
(Chorus)
It was almost heaven Almost love Almost enough to make me stay
I was almost yours You were almost mine We almost made it through the gray
But almost is a bruise that never fades never heals never leaves —
It's not the love I lost It's the love I almost believed
Almost heaven Almost you Almost me
(Bridge)
"I know it's just yogurt I know it doesn't mean anything But it was ours It was our stupid little thing And I'm still buying two I'm still buying two "
(Final Chorus)
It was almost heaven Almost love Almost a life I could have kept
But almost doesn't count when you're lying in an empty bed
I'm not broken I'm not bitter I'm not waiting by the phone
I'm just a woman who almost had you —and still walks past your street alone
Almost heaven Almost you Almost me
