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 

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 a crowded street     
You took my hand and danced with me     
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips     
You told me you'd 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     
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
