Defences - The Almost Lyrics

Can't believe I almost fell for what the voice inside was telling me
I can't believe I almost let intruders win
Can you believe we almost had a taste and then got thrown back out again?
It's almost like only the opulent stay in

Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost
No regrets, no unknowns
How much blood do we give before we're dry?
""Did you try?""
A lifetime of living in the almost
I came close, fell short, almost became
I almost gave my hand up

There's only one outcome from giving up

It's almost always the same
Trying to hold on to the thrill of the chase
No way out
Of the perpetual race
Feels like I'm losing my mind

Won't stop running
Cus I'm running out of time
I can't be my own demise
But this might

Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost
No regrets, no unknowns
How much blood do we give before we're dry?
""Did you try?""
A lifetime of living in the almost
I came close, fell short, almost became
I almost gave my hand up

There's only one outcome from giving up
How many times around before the gold is struck?

There's only one outcome from giving up
And when all's said and done
I've got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose

Got nothing left to lose
So I don't really have to choose
I could play and I might win
Or never play the game again
Never play the game again

Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost
No regrets, no unknowns
How much blood do we give before we're dry?
""Did you try?""
A lifetime of living in the almost
I came close, fell short, almost became
I almost gave my hand up

Almost threw my hand away
But life's the only game I'll play"
