The Word Alive
GREATEST ALMOST
[Verse 1]
She told me that I'd never find someone better
'Til I severed everything she planted in my head
The further and further I distance myself
Can't help but see that I'd be better off dead

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't get enough
She's wrapped around my neck
Thought I had it all
But now I feel sickened
I feel sickened

[Chorus]
And I bet you thought you had me
Almost got your wish
Thought you'd break me
Almost got your wish
I never wanted, I never wanted this
You'll be the last one, the last one that I'd miss

Thought you had me
I'm your greatest almost

[Bridge]
And all the time that I wasted
Feels so long ago
I'm so glad that I faced it
Lesson learned, wouldn't change it
Sometimes our hearts get the best of us
Sometimes we chase the lust
And it gets the best of us

[Pre-Chorus]
Thought you had me
Almost got your wish
Thought you'd break me

[Chorus]
Thought you had me
Almost got your wish
Thought you'd break me
Almost got your wish
I never wanted, I never wanted this
You'll be the last one, the last one that I'd miss
Thought you had me
I'm your greatest almost

[Outro]
I'm your greatest almost
I'm your—
