[Verse 1]
You were the right face at the wrong time, love
I only wish I woulda known it
Wouldn’t have been so quick to give you up
When you got a good thing you should hold it

[Chorus]
We were almost legends, you and me
We were almost perfect
We were almost like the people in the paintings
It's like we were almost
It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous
It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous

[Verse 2]
Much as I want to, I can't lie now, babe
I can't deny how much I miss you
We were just victims of the time and place
A lack of love was not the issue
I changed my mind
I turned to tell you, you were already gone

[Chorus]
Oh, we were almost legends, you and me
We were almost perfect
We were almost like the people in the paintings
It's like we were almost
It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous
It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous
[Bridge]
It's funny how
We say "Forever"
I see you now
You're just a stranger
We wave hello
Say "See you later"
I'll see you later
It's funny how

[Chorus]
We were almost legends, you and me
We were almost perfect, yeah
We were almost like the people in the paintings
It's like we were almost
It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous
It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous
It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous
It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous

[Outro]
You were the right face at the wrong time, love
I only wish I woulda known it
