The sun is setting on the shore 
Now this day is done
Got used to you this close to me 
And keeping me warm
This sadness keeps me company 
As soon as you're gone 
All the promises we made
That we never dreamed we'd break

I'll forget everything I knew
Almost a perfect life with you 
Memories shine and fade away 
We were so close, we were almost 
Until the darkness turns to light
I'll get through today but not tonight 
Almost a perfect life with you 
We were so close, we were almost 

I know I must move on from here 
Don't think of the past
Sometimes there's no amount of love 
That can make it last 
All the feelings that we shared 
That we'll never have again

I'll forget everything I knew
Almost a perfect life with you 
Memories shine and fade away 
We were so close, we were almost 
Until the darkness turns to light
I'll get through today but not tonight 
Almost a perfect life with you 
We were so close, we were almost 

So this is me letting you go
And now I've got no one to run to 
We'll always know we were so close 
We were almost

I'll forget everything I knew
Almost a perfect life with you 
Memories shine and fade away 
We were so close, we were almost 
Until the darkness turns to light
I'll get through today but not tonight 
Almost a perfect life with you 
We were so close, we were almost
